PHASE2

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib and pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bortezomib together with pemetrexed disodium may kill mo...

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the safety, including dose-limiting toxicities, and feasibility of combining bortezomib with pemetrexed disodium in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer ...

  • Uncontrolled angina
  • Severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias
  • Electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities
  • Any ECG abnormality at screening must be documented as not medically relevant
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No prior bortezomib or pemetrexed disodium
  • Any number of prior chemotherapy regimens allowed (phase I)
  • More than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for mitomycin C) and recovered
