NPI-0052 and Vorinostat in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Melanoma or Lymphoma

November 20, 2017 updated by: Celgene
This is a clinical trial examining the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of IV NPI-0052 (a proteasome inhibitor) in combination with oral vorinostat (Zolinza; a HDAC inhibitor) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma or lymphoma. Proteasome inhibitors block the breakdown of proteins by cells and HDAC inhibitors block modification of proteins regulating gene expression in cells. Both of these actions preferentially affect cancer cells, and the combination of the two has been seen to have a greater effect in laboratory studies.
