Trial summary

Vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid; NSC 701852) is a drug that inhibits an enzyme that plays a key role in the regulation of cell survival, growth, and eventual cell death, all of which play a role in cancer. As a result, this drug has the potential to affect a tumor's ability to survive. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (Vorinostat) (NSC 701852) in Combination With Docetaxel in Patients With Advanced and Relapsed Solid Malignancies

Vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid; NSC 701852) is a drug that inhibits an enzyme that plays a key role in the regulation of cell survival, growth, and eventual cell death, all of which play a role in cancer. As a result, this drug has the potential to affect a tumor's ability to survive. Vorinostat is the most potent drug of its kind that is currently under investigation in clinical trials. The primary objective of this study is to define the maximum safest dose of vorinostat in combination with a standard chemotherapy agent, docetaxel, in patients with advanced and relapsed lung, bladder, or prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Vorinostat (also known as Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid) is a new investigational drug that is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This drug has shown promising activity against a number of cancers. We want to determine if treatment with vorinostat in combination with a standard type of chemotherapy (docetaxel [Taxotere™]) is safe and possibly better than treatment with docetaxel alone. We also want to find out more about how patients and the cancer will react to the drugs, what happens to vorinostat in the human body (how your body reacts to this drug and breaks it down) and about its side effects when used in combination with chemotherapy (docetaxel).

The purpose of this study is to:

  • Test the safety of the research study drug, vorinostat
  • To determine if any toxicities or severe side effects occur when combining vorinostat with docetaxel (a standard chemotherapy treatment)
  • To study how your body takes in, breaks down and responds to vorinostat
  • To obtain more evidence of the ability of vorinostat to react against cancer, such as the kind that you have.

The use of vorinostat in combination with chemotherapy such as docetaxel may result in improved response of the cancer to treatment. Indeed, vorinostat may have an added benefit with docetaxel by promoting cancer cell death. This is because both drugs can interfere with the ability of the cancer to grow, although the way vorinostat does this is not clearly defined. Vorinostat and docetaxel both can disrupt the cancer's ability to produce daughter cancer cells and therefore, the administration of vorinostat before docetaxel is hoped to be better then either drug alone.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid)Drug

    Also called Zolinza,NSC 701852

    Vorinostat will be administered by mouth as a pill for the first 14 days on a continuous basis during of each 21-day cycle (2 weeks of treatment, 1 week break).

  • docetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    Docetaxel will be administered as an intravenous infusion (through the vein) on day 4 of each 21-day cycle.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The TITE-CRM dose escalation scheme will be used in this study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination therapy.

    Measured: After 25 evaluable patients are accrued, a final set of side-effect estimates will be produced for each dose level, and the MTD will be the highest dose with a side-effect estimate at or below the target toxicity estimate of 30%.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Although response is not the primary endpoint of this trial, patients with measurable disease will be assessed by standard criteria.

    Measured: For the purposes of this study, tumor response will be assessed every 6 weeks.

  2. To evaluate the blood levels of vorinostat and docetaxel when administered in combination.

    Measured: All blood levels of the drugs will be conducted during the first cycle of chemotherapy only.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) and docetaxel in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma and Prostate Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center 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 2 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2016. 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 was stopped early (reason given: closed due to toxicity). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The TITE-CRM dose escalation scheme will be used in this study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination therapy. (time frame: After 25 evaluable patients are accrued, a final set of side-effect estimates will be produced for each dose level, and the MTD will be the highest dose with a side-effect estimate at or below the target toxicity estimate of 30%.). 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 2 Dec 2016.
