Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as hydroxychloroquine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving hydroxychloroquine together with temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of hydroxychloroquine when given together with temsirolimus in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to treatment.
