Study Objective: The goal of this Phase I clinical research study is to determine the tolerable dose of the combination of Afinitor (everolimus) either with Kineret (anakinra) or Xgeva (denosumab) for patients with advanced cancer. Everolimus is designed to stop cells from dividing. Anakinra is designated to block a protein that is involved in tumor development, new blood vessels growing, and spread of cancer. Denosumab is designed to block the activity of a protein, which may prevent bone complications in cancer that has spread to the bone.
