Summary
Background:
- PU-H71 is an experimental drug used to treat cancer. It works by blocking a protein in
tumors. When this protein is blocked, it affects other proteins inside the cell that cancers
need to grow. Researchers want to study whether PU-H71 is a safe and effective way to treat
solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Objectives:
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PU-H71 in solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma that have not responded to standard treatments.
Eligibility:
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that
have not responded to standard treatments.
Design:
- Patients will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood tests, and
imaging studies.
- Patients will receive PU-H71 as a 1-hour dose on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle of
treatment. The first treatment cycle will be done in the hospital so that patients can
be monitored. The next treatment cycles will be done on an outpatient basis.
- Patients will have blood and urine tests and eye exams.
- Patients will provide tumor samples for study.
- Patients will have imaging studies to monitor tumor response to treatment.
- Patients will continue to take PU-H71 for as long as side effects remain tolerable and
their tumor or lymphoma does not worsen. Study researchers may adjust the dose if
needed.
