Brief Title: Study of Vorinostat in Combination With Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in Advanced Sarcoma
Official Title: Phase 1b/2 Study of Vorinostat in Combination With Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in Advanced Sarcoma
Study ID: NCT01879085
Brief Summary: This is a Phase Ib/II experimental, open-label, dose escalation, active treatment study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended dose of the combination. During the Phase 2 portion of the study, we will assess progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS),overall response rate (ORR), correlative endpoints, DNA methylation measured by microarray, and expression level of the genes as measured by microarray
Detailed Description: Phase 1b * To determine the dose of vorinostat that can be safely combined with gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with advanced sarcomas. * To characterize the Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of vorinostat when combined with gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with advanced sarcomas (Exploratory Aim). Phase 2 * To determine the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine and docetaxel in combination with vorinostat in patients with advanced sarcomas. The hypothesis is that gemcitabine and docetaxel + vorinostat will be safe and will improve the 6-months progression-free rates (PFR) of the combination by 20% (from 20% to 40%). * To determine the objective response rate, progression-free, and overall survival of patients with advanced sarcomas treated with gemcitabine and docetaxel + vorinostat; * To develop a predictive molecular signature of response to treatment in advanced sarcomas.
