This is an open label phase II study using metronomic low-dose gemcitabine and mitomycin c given intravenously, and thalidomide administered orally, for patients with advanced solid tumors.
This Phase II open-label single-site study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic low dose (MLD) therapy with gemcitabine, mitomycin c, and thalidomide in approximately 40-60 patients with pathologically confirmed advanced solid tumors. Patients will receive gemcitabine 600 mg/m2 (Max: 1000 mg) i.v. on D1, D8, D15; Mitomycin C 14 mg i.v. every 6 weeks; and Thalidomide 100 mg p.o. daily x 15 days. CT scan or MRI will be done every 6 weeks for 6 months and every 12 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity up to one year of treatment.
