Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan plus raltitrexed in treating patients who have refractory solid tumors that have not responded to previous therapy.

Conditions

Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Keywords

unspecified adult solid tumor, protocol specific

Interventions

irinotecan hydrochloride DRUG

raltitrexed DRUG
