Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine hydrochloride and alvocidib in treating patients with solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and alvocidib, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

- description
- Some patients receive an initial dose of alvocidib IV over 1-7 hours on day 1 (course 0). Beginning 1 week later and for all subsequent courses, all patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 60-150 minutes on days 1 and 15 and alvocidib IV over 1-7 hours on days 2 and 16. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of gemcitabine hydrochloride and alvocidib until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, up to 10 additional patients receive treatment at that dose.
