Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the
growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells of by stopping them from dividing.
Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed
for cell growth.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving pemetrexed
disodium and docetaxel together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
