Everolimus, Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Panitumumab, and Oxaliplatin in Treating Patients With Tumors That Did Not Respond to Treatment

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving everolimus together with combination chemotherapy and/or panitumumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given together with fluorouracil, leucovorin, panitumumab, and oxaliplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that did not respond to previous treatment.
