Interventions

  • DrugEtanercept

    7 days prior to treatment with docetaxel. Administered twice weekly throughout the study.

    Also known as: Enbrel

  • DrugDocetaxel

    Administered intervenously (IV) over 30 minutes through an infusion pump once a week (every 7 days). A cycle will comprise six weekly treatments followed by 2 weeks of rest.

    Also known as: Taxotere

  • DrugDexamethasone

    Administered orally 8 mg 12 hours prior to docetaxel, immediately prior to docetaxel (two hours after etanercept), and 12 hours after docetaxel to complete a total of 3 doses (total dose 24 mg/week) on treatment weeks.

    Also known as: steriod, glucocorticoid

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly docetaxel in combination with etanercept.

    Time frame: up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Characterize toxicities of weekly docetaxel when administered weekly to patients with solid malignancies to determine if co-administration of etanercept can result in higher tolerated doses of docetaxel.

    Time frame: up to 4 years

  2. Determine if weekly docetaxel administration is associated with increased expression of TNF and if inactivation of TNF by etanercept is associated with a decrease in the rate of moderate to severe asthenia.

    Time frame: up to 4 years

  3. Preliminarily evaluate antitumor activity for docetaxel in combination with etanercept.

    Time frame: up to 4 years
