XAD - Xelox (Capecitabine + Oxaliplatin) + Bevacizumab + Dasatinib

The primary purpose of this study is to find the highest tolerated dose of the study drugs: capecitabine, oxaliplatin, bevacizumab, and dasatinib given in combination to subjects with advanced solid tumors. This will occur in the first part of the study (Phase I). Once this dose has been determined, it will be given to subjects with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer in the second part of the study (Phase II).

By giving these drugs in combination, researchers hope to evaluate the side effects of the study drugs in both groups, and to determine if this combination could possibly decrease or stabilize the cancer being treated.

Subjects will be enrolled at Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) and Rocky Mountain Cancer Center.

After satisfying eligibility and screening criteria, patients will be treated on 21 day cycles.

ABOUT THE STUDY DRUGS

* Capecitabine (Xeloda™) is an oral (taken by mouth) chemotherapy drug in tablet form made by Roche Laboratories Inc. Capecitabine has been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for first line treatment (treatment that should be used for cancer that has not been treated yet) of metastatic colorectal cancer and also for metastatic breast cancer.
* Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin™) is an intravenous (given by injection into a vein) chemotherapy drug made by Sanofi-Synthélabo. This drug is also approved by the FDA for use in metastatic colorectal cancer.
* Bevacizumab (Avastin™) is a type of intravenous cancer treatment called anti-angiogenic therapy (a type of therapy to treat cancer that interferes with blood flow to the tumor, thereby stopping tumor growth, and possibly leading to tumor shrinkage) made by Genentech Inc. Bevacizumab is approved by the FDA for first line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with other chemotherapy.
* Dasatinib (Sprycel™) is an oral drug made by Bristol Myers Squib, Inc (BMS). Dasatinib is approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia or for patients that are resistant to a medicine called imatinib mesylate (Gleevec™ ).

Inclusion Criteria:

Criteria Specific for Dose Escalation (Phase I)

1. Patients must have histologically confirmed solid tumor malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective, or for whom capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and/or bevacizumab would be considered a standard therapy or therapeutic option.
