Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Vorinostat and Rituximab in Treating Patients With Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving vorinostat together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving vorinostat together with rituximab and to see how well it works in treating patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: * To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of vorinostat and rituximab, in terms of objective response rate, time to progression, and survival, in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. * To assess the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients receive oral vorinostat twice daily on days 1-14 and rituximab IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
