What is being measured

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

  1. Parts I & II: Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical or Laboratory Adverse Experiences (AE)

    A laboratory AE is defined as any unfavorable \& unintended change in the chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A clinical AE is defined similarly but also includes changes in structure or function of the body.

    Measured: Day 1 up until 30 days post study completion or early termination (up to approximately 506 days)

  2. Part I: Number of Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    A DLT was defined as any of the following (per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version 3.0):

    • Grade 3 (severe)-4 (life-threatening) neutropenia with fever ≥ 38.5ºC
    • Grade 3-4 neutropenia with an infection requiring antibiotic or antifungal treatment
    • Grade 4 neutropenia lasting at least 5 days
    • Grade 4 thrombocytopenia
    • Other Grade 4 hematologic toxicity, including a decrease in hemoglobin, only at the discretion of the principal investigator
    • Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic event, except which are manageable by supportive care or non-prohibited therapies

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Part I: Total Drug Exposure (Area Under the Concentration Curve, AUC[0-24 Hours])

    Blood samples taken as follows:

    Day 1 \& Day 28 of Cycle 1: pre dose, and 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 12 and 24 hours after dosing of vorinostat.

    Measured: Days 1 & 28 of Cycle 1

  2. Part I: Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax)

    Blood samples taken as follows:

    Day 1 \& Day 28 of Cycle 1: pre dose, and 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 12 and 24 hours after dosing of vorinostat.

    Measured: Days 1 & 28 of Cycle 1

  3. Part I: Time at Which Cmax Occurs (Tmax)

    Blood samples taken as follows:

    Day 1 \& Day 28 of Cycle 1: pre dose, and 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 12 and 24 hours after dosing of vorinostat.

    Measured: Days 1 & 28 of Cycle 1

  4. Part I: The Amount of Time it Takes for the Drug Concentration to Decrease by Half (T1/2)

    Blood samples taken as follows:

    Day 1 \& Day 28 of Cycle 1: pre dose, and 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 12 and 24 hours after dosing of vorinostat.

    Measured: Days 1 & 28 of Cycle 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing vorinostat in people with Lymphoma, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jul 2012). 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?

Parts I & II: Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical or Laboratory Adverse Experiences (AE) (time frame: Day 1 up until 30 days post study completion or early termination (up to approximately 506 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00771472, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Apr 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
