Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-214662 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of BMS-214662 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Determine the safety of an appropriate dose of this drug for phase II studies.
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
Determine the extent and duration of farnesyltransferase inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and other relevant surrogate markers of pharmacological activity in patients treated with this drug.
Determine any preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of this drug in these patients.
Determine pharmacodynamic relationships for the pharmacological effect of this drug upon surrogate markers of activity and host toxicity in these patients.
Compare the toxicity profiles for the 1-hour vs 24-hour IV infusions of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-prolongation, dose-escalation study.

Single patient cohorts receive BMS-214662 IV over escalating periods of 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours weekly for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of rest. If no patient experiences dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), dose escalation proceeds in the single patient cohorts.

Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Individual patient cohorts may increase their duration of BMS-214662 infusion in subsequent courses to the current duration safely reached.

Beginning with the infusion level at which DLT is first encountered by a single patient, cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BMS-214662 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 DLT. An additional cohort of 10 patients is treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed for at least 4 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-12 months.
