PHASE1

Brief Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of belinostat when given together with isotretinoin in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors. Belinostat may stop...

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the safety and feasibility of combining PXD101 (belinostat) with 13-cis-retinoic acid \[13-cRA\] (isotretinoin) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. I...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
  • Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of belinostat will be determined following review of their case by the Principal Investigator
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to belinostat or other agents used in study
  • Patients should not have taken valproic acid, another histone deacetylase inhibitor, for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval, e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval \> 500 msec; Long QT Syndrome; the required use of concomitant medication on belinostat infusion days that may cause Torsade de Pointes
  • Significant cardiovascular disease including unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure related to primary cardiac disease, a condition requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy, ischemic or severe valvular heart disease, or a myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to the trial entry
