Official Title: Pilot Study Evaluating Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Capecitabine Dosing in Patients With Advanced Cancer and Elevated Body Mass Index
Study ID: NCT01828554
Brief Summary: The purpose of this research study is to find what happens to capecitabine in the body when dosed using actual versus ideal body weight in subjects with advanced tumors and elevated body mass index.
Detailed Description: Cycle 1 : Capecitabine 1,250 mg/m2 orally Per os (PO) once a day (BID) for 7 consecutive days (D1 - D7) will be administered by subject (with Ideal Body Weight being used to determine BSA) for dosage.
