Cyclophosphamide and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

NCT00551889

Treatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Celecoxib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cyclophosphamide together with celecoxib may help kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of celecoxib when given together with cyclophosphamide in treating patients with advanced cancer.
