About this study
Official title: A Phase I Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Combination With Flavopiridol in Advanced Solid Tumors
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with alvocidib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat and alvocidib, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vorinostat together with alvocidib may kill more tumor cells.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of vorinostat (SAHA) when given in combination with flavopiridol (alvocidib) in patients with advanced solid tumors.
II. Obtain preliminary data on the therapeutic activity of SAHA and flavopiridol in these patients.
III. Evaluate the role of p21, p53, and apoptotic markers relative to treatment response in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study of vorinostat (SAHA).
Before beginning course 1 of study therapy, patients receive oral SAHA on days 1-3 in order to ensure tolerability of the drug. Beginning 1 week later, patients receive oral SAHA once daily on days 1-3 and 8-10 and fixed-dose alvocidib intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 2 and 9. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of SAHA until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 10 patients are treated at the MTD of SAHA in combination with fixed-dose alvocidib. Once the MTD of SAHA in combination with fixed-dose alvocidib is determined, patients receive oral SAHA at one dose level below the MTD once daily on days 1-3 and 8-10 and divided-dose alvocidib IV over 30 minutes followed by alvocidib IV over 4 hours on days 2 and 9. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If this schedule is well-tolerated, the MTD of SAHA in combination with divided-dose flavopiridol is determined as above. An additional 10 patients are treated at the MTD of SAHA in combination with divided-dose alvocidib. Patients undergo blood draws on days 1 and 9 of course 1 for pharmacokinetic analysis.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing alvocidib, vorinostat and pharmacological study in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, 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 32 inclusion and 0 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 24 Feb 2014. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Maximum tolerated dose of vorinostat when administered in combination with a fixed dose of weekly flavopiridol (time frame: Course 1). 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 24 Feb 2014.
