Efficacy of the MTD dosed sarcoma patients.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. 2011<br>2. 2013;Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to determine the tolerance (Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)) and efficacy of PXD101 and doxorubicin combination treatment as measured by response rate (CR or PR using the RECIST response criteria). ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of the trial is <br>•to examine the time to response, the duration of response, and survival following PXD101 combination therapy.<br>•to examine disease control rate (CR+PR+SD)<br>•to examine the PK of PXD101 and doxorubicin in the combination <br>•to examine PD aspects of the treatment<br>
