Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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 bortezomib together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with cetuximab in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

- description
- The starting dose of bortezomib will be 1.3 mg/m2 with a 0.1 increment increase with each successive dose level to a maximum of 2.0 mg/m2. A loading dose of cetuximab will be given on day 1 (400 mg/m2) followed by a weekly dose of 250 mg/m2.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib
- timeFrame
- At end of Cycle 1 (Week 3)
- description
- The standard Phase I design will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib when given with weekly cetuximab. The MTD is defined as the highest dose studied for which the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was less than 33%.
