Dose Esclation
Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of escalating doses of lovastatin in combination with docetaxel in patients with any type of solid tumor. Lovastatin and Docetaxel: Docetaxel (60 mg/m2) will be given on day 0 every three weeks with incrementally increasing doses of lovastatin. Lovastatin will be administered p.o. following a four times a day schedule, for four consecutive days (days -1 to +2) and repeated every three weeks. For purposes of this study, intermittent drug administration, six dose levels, ranging from 2 to 24 mg/kg/day (2, 4, 7, 10, 13, 18, and 24 mg) will be used. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lovastatin has been determined, docetaxel will be escalated in a stepwise scheme from 60 to 80 to 100 mg/m2.
