Brief Summary:
This study will determine the best doses of docetaxel and lonafarnib when the two anti-cancer agents are used in combination. Patients with tumors for which treatment with docetaxel would be appropriate are eligible. A second part of the study will further examine the effectiveness of the combination treatment in men with prostate cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
:
- Incidence of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity ]
- Rate of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses [ Time Frame: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity ]
Secondary Outcome Measures
:
- Proportion of subjects with dose-limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity ]
- Plasma lonafarnib concentrations [ Time Frame: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity ]
- RECIST-defined radiological response rate [ Time Frame: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity ]

- Radiation therapy to more than 25% of his/her total bone marrow during life.
- Radiation therapy within 3 weeks prior to first study drug administration.
- Known hypersensitivity to prednisone, docetaxel, polysorbate 80, lonafarnib, or any excipients associated with these medications.
- Known contraindication to steroid use.
- Known leptomeningeal or CNS metastasis.
- Heart, vascular, or seizure disorder (detailed list in the protocol) within 6 months prior to first study drug administration.
- Baseline QTc interval greater than 450 msec.
- Grade 2 or more peripheral neuropathy or drug-related toxicity per CTCAE. Exceptions are noted in the protocol.
- Any clinically significant condition or situation that the investigator thinks would interfere with the study evaluations or subject's participation.
