• Prior therapy requirements:

  • Patients who have undergone surgical resection or interventional radiology procedures for disease control are eligible if they meet all inclusion criteria after surgery/procedure
  • Surgery: At least 2 weeks since undergoing any major surgery
  • Steroids: Patients with endocrine deficiencies are allowed to receive physiologic or stress doses of steroids if necessary. Other patients such as vascular tumor patients need to be on a weaning dose of steroids

  • Hematopoietic GFs: At least 7 days since the completion of therapy with a GF that supports platelet, red or white cell number or function.
  • Biologic (anti-neoplastic agent): At least 14 days since the completion of therapy with a biologic agent. For agents that have known AEs occurring beyond 14 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which AEs are known to occur. These patients must be discussed with the Study Chair on a case-by-case basis.
  • Investigational Drugs: Patients must not have received an investigational drug within 4 weeks.
  • XRT: > or = 6 months from involved field radiation to vascular tumor.
  • CYP3A4 inhibitors: Patients may not be currently receiving strong inhibitors of CYP3A4, and may not have received these medications within 1 week of entry.

• These include:

  • Macrolide Antibiotics: clarithromycin, telithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomycin.
  • Gastrointestinal prokinetic agents: cisapride, metoclopramide.
  • Antifungals: itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole, clotrimazole
  • Calcium channel blockers: verapamil, diltiazem, nicardipine
  • Other drugs: rifampin, bromocriptine, cimetidine (Tagamet), danazol, cyclosporine oral solution, lansoprazole (Prevacid).
  • Grapefruit juice. j. CYP3A4 inducers: Patients must also avoid strong inducers of CYP3A4, and may not have received these medications within 1 week of entry.

These include:

• Anticonvulsants: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin
• Antibiotics: rifabutin, rifapentine.
• Herbal preparations: St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum, hypericine). k. Enzyme inducing anticonvulsants: Patients may not be taking enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants, and may not have received these medications within 1 week of entry, as these patients may experience different drug disposition.

These medications include:

• Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
• Felbamate (Felbtol)
• Phenobarbitol
• Phenytoin (Dilantinl)
