Trial Information

A Phase I Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Combination With Bortezomib in Patients With Advanced Malignancies


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of vorinostat (SAHA) and bortezomib in patients with
metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oral vorinostat (SAHA) twice daily on days 1-14 in step A. Patients receive
oral vorinostat (SAHA) twice daily on days 1-4 and 8-11 in Step B and bortezomib IV over 3-5
seconds on days 2, 5, 9, and 12 during the first course and on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 during
subsequent courses in both steps A and B. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib 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. Up to 6 additional patients receive
bortezomib at the MTD. Subsequent cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of SAHA
until the MTD of that drug is determined.
