Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the maximum tolerated dose of decitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors
II Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients III Determine the dose of this drug with biologic activity in these patients IV Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients V Determine clinical response to this drug in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation multicenter study
Patients receive decitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5 weekly for 4 weeks Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of decitabine until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
