Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel 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 lenalidomide together with docetaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with docetaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

• Determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide when administered with docetaxel and carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Secondary

• Determine the safety and toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
• Determine, preliminarily, the clinical activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of lenalidomide.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour followed by carboplatin IV on day 1. Patients also receive oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responding disease after completion of 6 courses of treatment may continue lenalidomide alone once daily on days 1-14. Patients whose disease is stable or responding after completing 2 or 4 courses and who are unable to tolerate further chemotherapy may continue lenalidomide alone once daily on days 1-14, at the investigator's discretion. Treatment with lenalidomide repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of lenalidomide until the maximum tolerated dose (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. An additional 6-8 patients are treated at the MTD.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 42 patients will be accrued for this study.
