Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Calcitriol may increase the effectiveness of paclitaxel by making
tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining calcitriol with paclitaxel in
treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.
