A Phase I Study of Vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid [SAHA]) in Combination With Temozolomide in Patients With Malignant Gliomas
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of vorinostat in combination with temozolomide
in patients with malignant gliomas.
II. Characterize the safety profile of vorinostat in combination with temozolomide in these
patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Characterize the pharmacokinetics of vorinostat (SAHA) in combination with temozolomide
in these patients.
II. Determine efficacy of vorinostat (SAHA) in combination with temozolomide as measured by
objective response in these patients.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Correlate response to treatment with the molecular phenotype of the tumor in these
patients.
OUTLINE: This is a 2-part, multicenter, dose-escalation study of vorinostat.
PART 1: Patients receive oral vorinostat once or twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21 OR once
or twice daily on days 1-7. Patients also receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5.
Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning in course 2, some patients may receive a higher dose of
temozolomide. Treatment may continue beyond 13 courses at the discretion of the
investigator.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of vorinostat during course 1 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. At least 6 patients are
treated at the MTD.
PART 2: Patients receive vorinostat and temozolomide as in part 1*.
[Note: *Beginning in course 2, all patients receive a higher dose of temozolomide.]
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive de-escalating doses of vorinostat (beginning at the MTD
determined in part 1) during courses 1 and 2 until the MTD for part 2 is determined. The MTD
is defined as in part 1. An additional 6 patients are treated at the MTD.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for survival.
