  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a diagnosis of AML (> 20% myeloid blasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow) or MDS with > 10% myeloid blasts in the bone marrow. Patients with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) must be refractory to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide.
  • The patients must have one of the following criteria:
  • Age of 18 to 69 years; relapsed or refractory disease following at least one prior therapeutic regimen; not a candidate for cytotoxic or other conventional therapies due to disease refractoriness, poor performance status, or co-morbidities
  • Age of 70 years or older; received no previous therapies (other than hematopoietic growth factors or hydroxyurea); not a candidate for cytotoxic or other conventional therapies due to poor performance status, co-morbidities, or personal preference
  • Age of 70 years or older with relapsed or refractory disease
  • The patient must have discontinued all previous therapies for acute leukemia for at least 14 days and recovered from the acute effects of the therapy.

  • Patients must have an ECOG (Zubrod) performance status of 0-2
  • Patients must be able to take and tolerate oral medications
  • Patients must have adequate organ function as specified in the protocol.
  • Patients not on anti-coagulation must have an INR < 1.5 and a PTT within normal limits.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant women or nursing mothers are not eligible for this trial.
  • Patients may receive no other concurrent biologic therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy during this trial.

About this study

Official title: Phase I, Open-label, Dose-escalation Study of the Combination of Sorafenib and Vorinostat in Poor-risk Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of sorafenib and vorinostat when given together to see what effects (good and bad) it has on the patient and their acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study is also being done to find the highest dose of sorafenib and vorinostat that can be given together without causing severe side effects.

Being tested
Sorafenib-Vorinostat
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Sorafenib-VorinostatDrug

    Also called Nexavar (Sorafenib), Zolinza (Vorinostat)

    Patients will be entered in successive cohorts. The first cohort will receive Sorafenib at 400 mg bid (800 mg daily) and Vorinostat at 100 mg bid (200 mg daily).

Sorafenib-VorinostatExperimentalThis is a single-arm, non-randomized feasibility and safety Phase I trial of a combination of Sorafenib and Vorinostat, both administered orally.
Receives: Drug: Sorafenib-Vorinostat

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of a combination of Sorafenib and Vorinostat administered to patients with poor-risk AML, or MDS with >10% blasts.

    Measured: Baseline through cycle 3

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluate response and the duration of response to this combination targeted therapy

    Measured: Baseline through Cycle 3

  2. Evaluate the toxicity of the combination of Sorafenib and Vorinostat in patients receiving this therapy

    Measured: Baseline through Cycle 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sorafenib-Vorinostat in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute and Leukemia, Promyelocytic, Acute, run by Indiana University 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 10 inclusion and 5 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 18 Sep 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?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of a combination of Sorafenib and Vorinostat administered to patients with poor-risk AML, or MDS with >10% blasts. (time frame: Baseline through cycle 3). 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 18 Sep 2014.
