5. Study Description

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Gold sodium thiomalate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gold sodium thiomalate in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of gold sodium thiomalate in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. To describe the toxicities associated with this treatment. To describe any preliminary evidence of biologic activity. To further assess the correlation between PKCι expression and the antitumor effects of gold sodium thiomalate. To study the association of clinical (toxicity and/or tumor response or activity) with pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters. To describe anti-proliferative activity of gold sodium thiomalate through 3-deoxy-3-[^18F]-fluorothymidine positron emission tomography imaging. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of gold sodium thiomalate. Patients receive gold sodium thiomalate intramuscularly on days 1, 8, 15 and 22. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive gold sodium thiomalate once every 4 weeks until a total cumulative dose of 1 gram is delivered. Blood samples are collected at baseline and prior to therapy in weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Samples are analyzed by mass spectometry for pharmacokinetics. Paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples are analyzed for PKC_l expression and antitumor activity. Antiproliferative effects of gold sodium thiomalate are analyzed by 3-deoxy-3-[^18F]-fluorothymidine positron emission tomography imaging.
