UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to determine the maximally tolerated dose, recommended phase II dose and toxicity profile of capecitabine plus imatinib mesylate combination. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-four patients with advanced solid tumors were treated with capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14 and imatinib mesylate once daily on a 21-day cycle. Dose-limiting toxicity was assessed during the first cycle. Treatment continued until disease progression or undesirable toxicity. RESULTS: Six patients were treated with capecitabine at 1000 mg/m(2) and imatinib mesylate 300 mg; unacceptable toxicity due to grade 2 intolerable hand-foot syndrome and/or grade > or = 2 diarrhea was observed. Doses were subsequently reduced to capecitabine at 750 mg/m(2) and imatinib mesylate at 300 mg; toxicities were better tolerated at the lower dose. Dose-limiting toxicities consisted of grade 3 diarrhea, anorexia and fatigue lasting > or = 4 days. Treatment-related adverse events greater than or equal to grade 3 included anemia, diarrhea, dysuria, hypophosphatemia and vertigo. Minor responses were observed in two patients: stable disease > or = 6 months was observed in two out of twenty-one evaluable patients. CONCLUSION: Full doses of capecitabine and imatinib mesylate were not tolerable. The maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose for this drug combination is capecitabine at 750 mg/m(2) twice daily for 1-14 days and imatinib at 300 mg once daily on a 21-day cycle.
