Vorinostat and Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Solid Tumors
A Phase 1 Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Combination With Gemcitabine in Patients With Epithelial Tumors
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and pharmacokinetics of vorinostat (SAHA) and gemcitabine in patients with metastatic or unresectable epithelial solid tumors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
II. Determine tumor activity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, open-label study.
Patients receive oral vorinostat (SAHA) once daily on days 1-14 and gemcitabine IV over 1-2 hours on days 3 and 10. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of SAHA and gemcitabine 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 are treated at the MTD.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 30 days.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- ECOG 0-2 OR Karnofsky 60-100%
- AST and ALT =< 2.5 times ULN
- Bilirubin =< 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Platelet count >= 100,000/mm3
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mm3
- Creatinine normal OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- Any number and type of prior chemotherapies are allowed including prior use of gemcitabine chemotherapy. A washout phase of at least 2 weeks since use of prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy, 6 weeks if the last regimen included nitrosoureas or mitomycin C, is required.
- Patients must have histologically confirmed epithelial malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- Patients must have at least one measurable lesion as per the RECIST Criteria that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension, with minimum lesion size equal to or more than twice the slice thickness of the imaging study used.
Exclusion Criteria:
- No symptomatic congestive heart failure
- No cardiac arrhythmia
- No ongoing or active infection
- No psychiatric illness or social situation that would preclude study compliance
- No history of allergy, significant side effects, or poor tolerance to gemcitabine
- No history of allergic reaction attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to vorinostat (SAHA)
- At least 2 weeks since prior radiotherapy
- Recovered from prior therapy
- No concurrent combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-positive patients
- No other uncontrolled illness
- More than 2 weeks since prior valproic acid
- No other concurrent investigational drugs
- No other concurrent anticancer therapy
- Patients with known brain metastases are excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
