RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving temozolomide together with bortezomib may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the best dose of bortezomib and temozolomide and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced refractory solid tumors or melanoma.

Official Title: | (Inhibition of NF-kB Signaling in Melanoma Therapy) A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of PS-341, a Proteasome Inhibitor, in Combination With an Extended Continuous Oral Schedule of Temozolomide in Patients With Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors With the Phase II Component Only in Patients With Melanoma |

OBJECTIVES:

OUTLINE:
Patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib and temozolomide until the maximum tolerated dose is determined. The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity.
Blood is collected and analyzed for 20S proteasome inhibition pretreatment and 1 hour post-bortezomib on days 1, 8, and 32 (phase I) or day 1 only (phase II). Blood is collected pretreatment, day 8 (pre-temozolomide and post-bortezomib) and day 29 (post-temozolomide and bortezomib) in order to examine biologic assays for inhibition of NF-κB. Tumor tissue (if accessible) is obtained pretreatment and on day 29 in order to examine biologic assays for inhibition of NF-κB. IκB phosphorylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and/or tumor biopsies is monitored by western/immunoblot.
