Cixutumumab and Temsirolimus in Treating Younger Patients With Solid Tumors That Have Recurred or Not Responded to Treatment

Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab when given together with temsirolimus in treating younger patients with solid tumors that have recurred or not responded to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
