Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Bortezomib and Flavopiridol in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Indolent B-Cell Neoplasms

Study Description

Brief Summary: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as flavopiridol, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may increase the effectiveness of flavopiridol by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving bortezomib together with flavopiridol may kill more cancer cells. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib and flavopiridol in treating patients with recurrent or refractory indolent B-cell neoplasms.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the recommended phase II dose of bortezomib and flavopiridol in patients with recurrent or refractory indolent B-cell neoplasms. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the toxic effects and maximum tolerated dose of this regimen in these patients. II. To determine disease-related effects of this regimen in these patients. III. To determine the pharmacodynamics of this regimen in patients with myeloma. IV. To determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds followed by flavopiridol IV over 1 hour on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
