Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of chloroquine in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine and see what effects (good and bad) it has on advanced solid tumors.

Also, the research study will be increasing the dose of chloroquine to find the highest dose of chloroquine that can be given in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine without causing severe side effects.
