Sorafenib Combined With Cisplatin and Etoposide or Carboplatin and Pemetrexed in Treating Patients With Metastatic Solid Tumors

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Sorafenib and pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, etoposide, 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 sorafenib together with cisplatin and etoposide or carboplatin and pemetrexed may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib when given together with cisplatin and etoposide or carboplatin and pemetrexed in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors.
