Talabostat Combined With Temozolomide or Carboplatin in Treating Young Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Brain Tumors or Other Solid Tumors

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Childhood Germ Cell Tumor, Kidney Cancer, Liver Cancer, Neuroblastoma, Ovarian Cancer, Sarcoma, Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Talabostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving talabostat together with temozolomide or carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of talabostat when given together with temozolomide or carboplatin in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory brain tumors or other solid tumors.
