Summary

This trial is studying dasatinib, temsirolimus, and cyclophosphamide to treat patients with solid tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients under 21 with advanced solid tumors, including brain tumors, that have spread or not responded to treatment. They must have proper liver and kidney function, stable neurological status if they have brain tumors, and a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. Patients should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, HIV positive, or have had certain recent health issues like heart disease.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of dasatinib and temsirolimus with cyclophosphamide in patients with recurrent or resistant solid tumors. It aims to find the safest doses and observe how these drugs might stop tumor growth by inhibiting specific enzymes needed for cell division.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system's response to the drugs, possible damage to organs due to inflammation caused by drug interactions within cells, blood disorders from chemotherapy agents affecting bone marrow function, fatigue from overall body stress due to treatment.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (dasatinib, cyclophosphamide, temsirolimus)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive dasatinib PO BID on days 1-21, cyclophosphamide PO QD on days 1-21, and temsirolimus IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients experiencing stable disease or better may continue treatment with the approval of the Study Chair.
