Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of neoadjuvant tipifarnib combined with docetaxel and capecitabine in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors or stage IIIA or stage IIIB breast cancer. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining tipifarnib with docetaxel and capecitabine may kill more tumor cells.

- description
- Phase Ib: Patients receive oral tipifarnib twice daily and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14 and docetaxel IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Phase II: Patients receive oral tipifarnib twice daily for 6 days. Beginning at least 48 hours after completion of the initial dose of tipifarnib, patients receive treatment as in phase Ib for up to 6 courses at the MTD of capecitabine.
