This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, bevacizumab, and temsirolimus when given together in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells of by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, bevacizumab, and temsirolimus together may kill more cancer cells.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of combination treatment with doxil (liposomal doxorubicin) (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride), bevacizumab and temsirolimus or everolimus.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Preliminary descriptive assessment of anti-tumor efficacy.
II. Assessment of anti-angiogenesis and anti-hypoxia inducible factor 1, alpha subunit (HIF-1A) correlates.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 1-3 hours; bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1; and either temsirolimus IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 or everolimus orally (PO) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly for 3 months.
