Brief Summary: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining UCN-01 with carboplatin in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors UCN-01 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining UCN-01 with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the maximum tolerated dose dose limiting toxicity and other toxicities of UCN-01 when combined with carboplatin
II Preliminarily evaluate the antitumor effect of the combination of carboplatin and UCN-01
III Determine the pharmacokinetics of UCN-01 and carboplatin
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study
Patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour followed by UCN-01 IV over 3 hours on day 1 Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin and UCN-01 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
