Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and tolerability of vorinostat plus pembrolizumab therapy by evaluation of toxicities including: type, frequency, severity, attribution, time course and duration.
II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of vorinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To obtain preliminary estimates of the anti-tumor activity of pembrolizumab plus vorinostat therapy by assessing the overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate, duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate responses and disease progression according to the Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria (LYRIC).
II. Explore genomic biomarkers of response and resistance to pembrolizumab plus vorinostat therapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
III. Explore immunologic biomarkers of response and resistance to pembrolizumab plus vorinostat therapy in patients with DLBCL, FL, or HL.
IV. Explore the value of circulating deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA) as a biomarker of response to pembrolizumab plus vorinostat therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of vorinostat.
Patients receive vorinostat orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-5 and 8-12 and pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, and then every 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Patients With Grade 3-5 Adverse Events
Time Frame: From initial study treatment to 90 days post-last dose, up to 27 months.
|
Adverse events were assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.
|
From initial study treatment to 90 days post-last dose, up to 27 months.
|
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) on Vorinostat
Time Frame: From initial study treatment to two cycles of study treatment
|
MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which < 33% of evaluable subjects experienced DLT, when at least 6 patients were treated at that dose level.
The MTD was considered the recommended phase II dose (RP2D), however the principal investigator may ultimately choose a lower dose level as the RP2D, depending on toxicity considerations, dose reduction on subsequent cycles, and other considerations.
|
From initial study treatment to two cycles of study treatment
|
Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)
Time Frame: From initial study treatment to two cycles of study treatment, up to 42 days.
|
The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period was 42 days (2 cycles).
DLT assessment occurred on cycle 3, day 1 prior to receipt of cycle 3, day 1 of study therapy.
Toxicities were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 4.03).

Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |

ORR was calculated as the proportion of evaluable patients that had confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as defined according to the 2014 Lugano Classification, exact 95% confidence intervals were calculated for these estimates.
