Vorinostat in Treating Women Who Are Undergoing Surgery For Newly Diagnosed Stage I -III Breast Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing vorinostat and conventional surgery in people with Breast Cancer and Stage I Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating women who are undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Pilot Study Evaluating Surrogates of Response to Short Term Oral Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Women With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer
This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating women who are undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vorinostat before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- Determine the safety and tolerability of vorinostat in women undergoing conventional surgery for newly diagnosed stage I-III breast cancer.
OULINE: This is a multicenter, pilot study.
Patients receive oral vorinostat twice daily on days -3 to 0. Approximately 2 hours after the final dose of vorinostat, patients undergo surgical resection of the tumor on day 0.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 30 days.
- Being tested
- vorinostat, conventional surgery
- Medical subject headings
- Breast Neoplasms

| Arm I | Experimental | Patients receive oral vorinostat twice daily on days -3 to 0. Approximately 2 hours after the final dose of vorinostat, patients undergo conventional surgery of the tumor on day 0. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 30 days. Receives: Drug: vorinostat; Other: conventional surgery |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Participants were evaluated for adverse events due to vorinostat to assess if it was safe to give the drug prior to surgery. 17 of 25 participants who received vorinostat experienced at least 1 adverse event believed to be related to the study drug; no adverse events were severe, and the treatment was considered safe.
Measured: After 3 days of vorinostat
Change in Tissue Proliferation After 3 Days of Treatment
Change in Ki-67 (a marker of tissue proliferation) by IHC compared to baseline in the treated (22 evaluable samples) or untreated patients (15 evaluable samples) were analyzed between groups. Ki-67 is a protein in cells that increases as cellsprepare to divide into new cells. A staining process can measure the percentage of tumor cells that are positive for Ki-67. The more positive cells there are, the more quickly they are dividing and forming new cells.
Measured: After 3 days of vorinostat
Change in Tissue Apoptosis After 3 Days of Treatment
Change in cleaved caspase-3 (a marker of tissue apoptosis) by IHC compared to baseline in the treated (19 evaluable samples) or untreated patients (12 evaluable samples) were analyzed between groups. Cleaved caspase-3 is a protein in cells involved in apoptosis (cell death).
Measured: Baseline and after 3 day of vorinostat
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change in Tissue Histone Acetylation After 3 Days of Treatment
To evaluate change from baseline in tissue histone acetylation in patients with primary breast cancer who received three days of Short Term Oral Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) 300 mg PO bid immediately prior to definitive breast surgery or other primary treatment. This is measured by Cumulative Methylation Index, which is reported as the sum of all %M for all genes. %M= (methylated copies divided by methylated + unmethylated copies) x 100.
Measured: Baseline and after 3 day of Vorinostat
Change in Blood (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells) Histone Acetylation After 3 Days of Treatment
To evaluate baseline and change in histone acetylation in polymononuclear cells in patients with primary breast cancer who received three days of SAHA 300 mg PO bid immediately prior to definitive breast surgery or other primary treatment.
Measured: Baseline and after 3 day of Vorinostat

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing vorinostat and conventional surgery in people with Breast Cancer and Stage I Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 30 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Sep 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: After 3 days of vorinostat). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2020.
