Irinotecan and Selenium in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Selenium may allow higher doses of irinotecan to be given. Giving irinotecan together with selenium may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of selenium when given together with irinotecan in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
