RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as DJ-927 and capecitabine, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of DJ-927 and capecitabine in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the maximum tolerated dose of DJ-927 and capecitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. * Determine the dose-limiting and non-dose-limiting toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. Secondary * Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients. * Determine the possible pharmacokinetic interactions of this regimen in these patients. * Determine the antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation, nonrandomized, multicenter study. * Course 1: Patients receive oral DJ-927 once on day 1 and oral capecitabine once on days 0 and 1 and twice daily on days 2-14. * Course 2: Patients receive DJ-927 as in course 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 2-15. * Course 3 and all subsequent courses: Patients receive DJ-927 as in course 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. All courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of DJ-927 and capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. A minimum of 6 patients receive treatment at the MTD. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Double-blind
: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
