Study Details

This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with idarubicin in treating patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat and idarubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vorinostat together with idarubicin may kill more cancer cells.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Arm I (vorinostat, idarubicin)
    Patients receive oral SAHA three times daily on days 1-14 and idarubicin IV over 15 minutes once daily on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients completing 6 courses of therapy or who reach the maximum cumulative dose of idarubicin or an equivalent anthracycline and achieve clinical benefit may continue treatment with SAHA alone 3 times daily on days 1-14 of each course, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Active Comparator: Arm II (vorinostat, idarubicin)
    Patients receive oral SAHA three times daily and idarubicin IV over 15 minutes once daily on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients completing 6 courses of therapy or who reach the maximum cumulative dose of idarubicin or an equivalent anthracycline and achieve clinical benefit may continue treatment with SAHA alone 3 times daily on days 1-14 of each course, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary Outcome Measure

Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of vorinostat determined by dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) as measured by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.3.0 [ Time Frame: 21 days ]
