Summary
This phase II trial evaluates nilotinib with paclitaxel for the treatment of patients with solid cancers that are growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) and that have previously been treated with taxane therapies. Nilotinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by binding to and blocking the action of a protein called ABL, which signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the proliferation of cancer cells. Paclitaxel is a drug that blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and it may kill cancer cells. Giving nilotinib with paclitaxel may be effective at treating patients with progressive solid cancers that have previously been treated with taxane therapies.
