| Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific | Drug: sorafenib tosylate Drug: temsirolimus Other: laboratory biomarker analysis | Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize the safety and the toxicities of BAY 43-9006 (sorafenib) administered continuously twice daily by oral route in combination with CCI-779 (temsirolimus) administered intravenously once weekly in advanced solid malignancies.
II. To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose for the phase II study (RD) of this regimen.
III. To describe the pharmacokinetic behavior of BAY 43-9006 (sorafenib) and CCI-779 (temsirolimus) when combined.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the relationship between pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of exposure and drug effect on biological surrogates of proliferation, cell survival, differentiation and angiogenesis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tumor tissue where the tumor is accessible for biopsy.
II. To analyze the biologic effects of BAY 43-9006 and CCI-779 on downstream targets of the P13K/Akt/mTOR and Raf signaling pathways.
III. To evaluate preliminary antitumor activity of the combination.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of temsirolimus.
Patients receive temsirolimus IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. They also receive oral sorafenib* twice daily starting on day 8 of course 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: *On the days of the temsirolimus infusion, temsirolimus should be taken concurrently with the morning dose of sorafenib.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of temsirolimus 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. Up to 12 patients are treated at the MTD.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 4 weeks.

Experimental: Treatment (sorafenib tosylate, temsirolimus)

Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
- Fasting serum cholesterol =< 350 mg/dL (9.0 mmol/L)
- Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits
- AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) =< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
- Patients on prophylactic anticoagulation therapy (e.g., low-dose warfarin) are eligible provided their coagulation parameter levels are as follows: INR (International Normalized Ratio of prothrombin time) < 1.1 x ULN
-
Patients on full-dose anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) with PT INR > 1.5 are eligible provided that both of the following criteria are met:
- The patient has an in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) on a stable dose of oral anticoagulant or on a stable dose of low molecular weight heparin
- The patient has no active bleeding or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding (e.g., tumor involving major vessels or known varices)
- Eligibility of patients receiving any other medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of BAY 43-9006 or CCI-779 will be determined following review of individual cases by the Principal Investigator; patients cannot be receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, rifampin, or St. John's wort; patients must avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice
