Imatinib and PTK787/ZK222584 in Refractory and/or Advanced Solid Tumors

Imatinib and PTK/ZK will each be administered orally daily. Two dose levels of imatinib (400 mg and 600 mg) will be tested with 4 dose levels of PTK/ZK (250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg, and 1000 mg). 3 patients will be accrued at each individual dose level. If dose-limiting toxicities are reported in ≤ 1/3 patients, the dose level will be expanded to 6 patients. If dose-limiting toxicities are reported in \< 2/6 patients, then dose escalation will continue. If ≥ 2/6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity, the next lower dose will be considered the maximum tolerated dose and will be expanded to a total of 12 patients. There will be no intrapatient dose escalations. Patients may continue to receive treatment until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression is encountered.
