Study Description

Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with pemetrexed may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation when given together with pemetrexed and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, or other solid tumors.

Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the safety of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation when administered with pemetrexed disodium in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, or other solid tumors. (Phase I) * Determine the efficacy of this regimen, as measured by objective tumor response rate (RECIST criteria), in these patients. (Phase II) Secondary * Determine the preliminary efficacy of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and pemetrexed disodium in these patients. (Phase I) * Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II) * Evaluate the frequency and severity of toxicities associated with this regimen. (Phase II) OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation followed by an open-label, phase II study. * Phase I: Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation 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. * Phase II: Patients receive pemetrexed disodium and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation at the MTD as in phase I. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
