Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with histologic confirmation of a solid tumor malignancy with clinical
evidence of metastatic disease.

- Patients must have failed at least one standard therapy, if available, for their
malignancy. Patients may be entered on the trial without prior therapy if there is
no standard effective therapy available.

- No active brain metastases or epidural tumor.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Concomitant administration of steroids.

- Irradiation or chemotherapy within 14 days of start of protocol.

in-situ carcinoma of the cervix curatively treated, Stage I or II cancer from which
the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the
patient has been disease free for greater than 5 years.

- Women who are pregnant or lactating. Women or men of reproductive age who are
unwilling to use two forms of effective contraception.

- Patients with clinically significant cardiac, renal or hepatic disease; severe
debilitating pulmonary disease; or history of diabetes mellitus prone to

Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Solid Tumor Malignancies
Intervention(s)
Drug: ATRA-IV
Drug: Depakote
Primary Outcome(s)
To define the dose limiting and other toxicities of the combination therapy
To determine the dosing that should be used in future safety and efficacy (Phase II) trials
To determine the maximum tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.
Secondary Outcome(s)
