Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose of temsirolimus in combination with vorinostat given every four weeks in patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
II. To define and describe the toxicities of the combination vorinostat and temsirolimus administered on this schedule.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To define the antitumor activity of the combination of vorinostat and temsirolimus within the confines of a phase 1 study.
II. To assess the biologic effects of vorinostat and temsirolimus on the signaling pathways of interest in these tumors.
III. To evaluate response with advanced neuroimaging (including magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and correlate with fiber tract changes using tractography and fractional anisotropy.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of temsirolimus. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I:
CHEMORADIOTHERAPY PHASE: Patients receive vorinostat once daily (QD) and undergo radiation therapy QD for 30 fractions over 6-7 weeks.
MAINTENANCE PHASE: Four to six weeks after the completion of radiation therapy, patients receive vorinostat PO QD and temsirolimus intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on days 1-8 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 10 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive vorinostat PO QD and temsirolimus IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1-8 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with other malignancies will not be eligible for stratum I or II; patients with disseminated disease including to the spine will not be eligible for stratum 1 but will be eligible for stratum II
- Patients must not have a history of myocardial infarction, severe or unstable angina, clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, grade 2 or greater heart failure, or serious and inadequately controlled cardiac arrhythmia
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies
- Patients who are currently receiving enzyme inducing anticonvulsants are not eligible
- Patients who are currently receiving therapeutic anticoagulants (including aspirin, low molecular weight heparin, and others) are not eligible
