Brief summary

This clinical trial studies capecitabine and celecoxib in treating patients with solid malignancies that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving capecitabine and celecoxib together may be an effective treatment for solid malignancies.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) (primarily minimum concentration \[Cmin\], maximum concentration \[Cmax\], and area under the curve \[AUC\]) of celecoxib on day 7 of monotherapy versus on day 14 of concomitant administration with capecitabine. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To develop a celecoxib PK drug interaction model using longitudinal data and determine whether the results are concordant with results from the primary objective. II. To assess the impact of known cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) pharmacogenetic variants with reduced enzyme activity (CYP2C9\*2 and \*3) on the between subject variability in celecoxib PK. III. To assess tumor response by the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.1) and explore whether there is any correlation between celecoxib PK and response. IV. To assess toxicity by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 4.0) and explore whether there is any correlation between celecoxib PK and toxicities related to either celecoxib or capecitabine. OUTLINE: Patients receive celecoxib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 7 days (course 0) and then on days 1-21 of course 1 and all subsequent courses. Patients also receive capecitabine PO BID on days 1-14 beginning in course 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Exclusion criteria

* Prior treatment with capecitabine and/or celecoxib is allowed; however, patients with a documented history (at the time of enrollment) of \>= grade 3 toxicities with capecitabine or celecoxib are excluded * Patients taking any of the following drugs are excluded: inducers or inhibitors of CYP2C9, warfarin, aspirin, corticosteroids, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) * History of myocardial infarction or stroke within the last 6 months, or history of uncontrolled cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease; a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed during the screening period * History of perforation or bleeding related to peptic ulcer disease * History of hypersensitivity or allergy to study drugs, aspirin, sulfonamides, or NSAIDs * Known poor metabolizers of CYP2C9 substrates * Known deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) * Patients who have had chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks of starting study drug, or radiotherapy within 14 days of starting study drug, or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier * Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents or any concomitant antineoplastic therapy, with the exception of androgen ablating agents (for patients with prior prostate cancer) * Serious underlying medical or psychiatric illnesses that would, in the opinion of the treating physician, substantially increase the risk for complications related to treatment; similarly, any unstable medical condition that in the opinion of the treating physician or study investigators, would interfere with determination of the study objectives * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Major surgery within 4 weeks

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
AUC of Celecoxib on Combination Therapy (Day 14) and AUC of Celecoxib on Celecoxib Monotherapy(Day 7)	Day 7 and 14 post treatment	These parameters will be estimated for each subject under each treatment condition. The mean ratios (combination therapy/celecoxib monotherapy) will then be estimated together with 90% confidence intervals (CI).

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
CYP2C9 Genotype	one week	Polymorphisms \2 and \3 will be genotyped and analyzed for their impact on celecoxib AUC using analysis of variance (ANOVA), controlling for gender, age, and other covariates.
Response Rate	Up to 2 years	Logistic regression analysis will be performed to describe the relationship (if any) between celecoxib AUC and response rate.
Drug-related Toxicities	Up to six months	Ordinal logistic regression modeling will be used to explore the relationship between celecoxib AUC and toxicity.
PK Drug Interaction Model	4 weeks	NONMEM software will be used to develop a model describing the drug interaction between capecitabine and celecoxib using PK data collected during the first four weeks of the study.
