Brief Title: Clofarabine in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
Official Title: A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of Clofarabine in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
Study ID: NCT00125840
Brief Summary: Clofarabine (injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens. This research study of clofarabine will be used for advanced cancer in persons in which drugs are no longer effective or no reliable effective treatment is available. The purpose of this study is to find the answers to the following research questions: 1. What is the largest dose of clofarabine that can be safely administered as an IV infusion (over at least 2 hours) once a week for 3 weeks (days 1, 8 and 15) followed by 1 week of rest and repeated every 28 days? 2. What are the side effects of clofarabine when given on this schedule? 3. How much clofarabine is in the blood at specific times after administration and how does the body get rid of the drug? Once the MTD/RP2D is established, patients will be enrolled at the MTD/RP2D regardless of the PK data with cardiac assessments done every other cycle. 4. Will clofarabine help treat a specific cancer?
