Study Summary

This trial is testing a combo of drugs to treat cancer that's spread/getting worse after taxane therapy. Nilotinib blocks ABL protein & paclitaxel stops cell growth, slowing/killing tumors.

Who is the study for?
Adults with progressive solid cancers previously treated with taxane therapies may join this trial. They must have a safe-to-biopsy tumor or recent tissue sample, no severe peripheral neuropathy, normal heart rhythm (QTcF <= 450 msec), and an ECOG performance status of 0-2. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are excluded, as well as those unwilling to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of nilotinib and paclitaxel in patients whose solid tumors continued to grow after taxane treatment. Nilotinib blocks signals that tell cancer cells to multiply, while paclitaxel stops cell division.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nerve damage (neuropathy), abnormal heart rhythms due to QT interval prolongation, liver function changes, fatigue from low blood counts, allergic reactions during infusion, and increased risk of infections.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (nilotinib hydrochloride monohydrate, paclitaxel)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive nilotinib hydrochloride monohydrate PO BID on days 1-28 and paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT or MRI throughout the study. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples and tumor biopsy on study.
