Group Intervention Description Vorinostat 600 mg Vorinostat 600 mg daily (300 mg twice daily \[b.i.d.\]) for 3 consecutive days followed by 4 days of rest. Vorinostat 400 mg Vorinostat 400 mg once daily (400 mg q.d.) continuous daily dosing for 21 days.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) 21 Days (first cycle) Dose Limiting Toxicity = Drug-related side effects that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose or level of that treatment
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-infinity)) at Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg) Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg) Area Under Curve (AUC(0-infinity))=Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to extrapolated infinite time (o- ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞). At 600 mg, t=12 hours and at 400 mg, t=24 hours.
Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-infinity)) at Day 3 (600 mg) Day 3 (600 mg) Area Under Curve (AUC(0-infinity))=Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 hours. It is obtained from AUC (0 - 12) plus AUC (12 - ∞)
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg) Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg) Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 3 (600 mg) Day 3 (600 mg) Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 21 (400 mg) Day 21 (400 mg) Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-infinity) at Day 21 (400 mg) Day 21 (400 mg) Area Under Curve (AUC(0-infinity))=Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 hours. It is obtained from AUC (0 - 24) plus AUC (24 - ∞)
