Paclitaxel Albumin-Stabilized Nanoparticle Formulation and Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Metastatic Solid Tumors

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation when given together with gemcitabine in treating patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors.
