Summary
RATIONALE: AZD2171 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and
by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in
different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping
them from dividing. Giving AZD2171 together with standard combination chemotherapy may kill
more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AZD2171 when given
together with standard combination chemotherapy in treating patients with advanced non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer.
