  Purpose

RATIONALE: PXD101 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Isotretinoin may cause solid tumor cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving PXD101 together with isotretinoin may be an effective treatment for metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of PXD101 when given together with isotretinoin in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • 1.1.1 To assess the safety and feasibility of combining PXD101 with 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cRA) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. [ Time Frame: end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 36
Study Start Date: June 2006
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Drug: belinostat
    PXD101 is administered daily dose x 5days as a 30-minute infusion week one every 3 weeks. Infuse PXD 101 intravenously over 30 minutes through an in-line 0.22 micron low protein binding filter
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety and tolerability of PXD101 when administered with isotretinoin in patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.
  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of PXD101 when administered with isotretinoin in these patients.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  • Demonstrate upregulation of retinoic acid receptor-beta and retinoic X-receptor expression in tumor tissue from patients treated with this regimen.
  • Correlate apoptosis in tumor tissue with tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the change in gene expression after exposure to this regimen.
  • Determine any clinical activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of PXD101.

Patients receive PXD101 IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5 and oral isotretinoin once daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of PXD101 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first course of therapy.

Once the MTD is determined, an expanded cohort of 10 patients are enrolled and treated at the MTD. These patients also undergo blood collection periodically during treatment for pharmacokinetic* studies.

All patients undergo blood collection, buccal scrapings, and tumor biopsies periodically for biomarker, pharmacodynamic, gene expression, and laboratory studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for ≥ 8 weeks.

NOTE: * A subset of patients also undergo blood collectiion for pharmacokinetic studies of PXD101, at the highest dose levels even though MTD has not been reached, with or without isotretinoin.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 34 patients will be accrued for this study.
