OBJECTIVES: Primary * To determine the safety and toxicity profile of ixabepilone in combination with sunitinib malate in patients with progressive, advanced non-hematologic malignancies. * To determine the recommended phase II dose of ixabepilone given weekly versus once every three weeks in combination with a fixed dose of sunitinib malate in these patients. Secondary * To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of the combination of ixabepilone and sunitinib malate and correlate them with activity and/or toxicity. * To obtain preliminary efficacy data (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) of these treatment combinations. * To correlate changes in angiogenesis biomarkers with clinical (safety and efficacy) and pharmacokinetic parameters in patients treated with these drug combinations. * To estimate the optimal biological dose. OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of ixabepilone. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups. * Schedule A: Patients receive ixabepilone IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Beginning on day 8 of course 1, patients also receive oral sunitinib malate once daily. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. * Schedule B: Patients receive ixabepilone IV on day 1. Beginning on day 8 of course 1, patients also receive oral sunitinib malate once daily. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Blood samples are collected periodically for biomarker and pharmacokinetic studies by flow cytometry. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 30 days and every 3 months for 1 year.
