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 sarcoma...

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. 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.
