Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study of Tamoxifen, Carboplatin and Topotecan in the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Primary Brain or Spinal Cord Tumors or Metastatic Epithelial Cancers With Central Nervous System Metastases

Study type | Interventional |
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and topotecan, work in different
ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Tamoxifen may help carboplatin work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to
the drug.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving carboplatin and
topotecan together with tamoxifen and to see how well it works in treating patients with
central nervous system metastases or recurrent brain or spinal cord tumors.
