safety study of xl647 and xl147 administered in combination daily in adults with solid tumors

Conditions: Cancer; Non-small-cell Lung Cancer; Breast Cancer

Summary: the purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and highest safe doses of xl647 in combination with xl147 in adults with solid tumors. xl647 is a small molecule that potently inhibits multiple receptor kinases, including egfr, vegfr2 (kdr), and erbb2. xl147 is a new chemical entity that inhibits pi3 kinase. inactivation of pi3k has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells.
