Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of Vorinostat for Solid Tumors and Lymphomas in Patients With Varying Degrees of Hepatic Dysfunction


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the pharmacokinetic disposition of vorinostat (SAHA) in patients with
metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphoma and varying degrees of hepatic
dysfunction.

II. Establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of
vorinostat in groups of patients with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction (mild,
moderate, or severe).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Document the non-DLTs associated with administration of vorinostat in patients with
hepatic dysfunction.

II. Determine the association of the Child-Pugh classification of hepatic dysfunction with
the observed toxicities, plasma pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of vorinostat
administration.

III. Document any antitumor activity associated with vorinostat treatment in patients
enrolled on this study.

OUTLINE: This is a parallel-group, dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according
to level of hepatic dysfunction (normal vs mild vs moderate vs severe). (closed for accrual
as of 04/05/2010)

PART I: Vorinostat (SAHA) will be administered as a single oral dose on day -6 for all
patients. Blood samples are obtained periodically on day -6 for pharmacokinetic studies.

PART II: One week later (day 1), the first course of oral vorinostat will be initiated on a
continuous daily oral regimen. Each treatment course will consist of 21 days of therapy.
Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Dose escalation will proceed within each hepatic dysfunction group (except in the normal
group). Only dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) that occur during the first cycle of treatment
will be used to guide dose escalation. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is the highest dose
at which no more than one instance of DLT is observed (among 6 patients treated). Once the
MTD has been determined for a given hepatic dysfunction group, a maximum of 12 patients will
be accrued to this dose level.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 4 weeks.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Histologically or cytologically confirmed solid malignancy or lymphoma that is
metastatic or unresectable

- Patients with a liver mass, elevated α-fetoprotein level (≥ 500 ng/mL), and
positive serology for hepatitis consistent with a diagnosis of hepatocellular
carcinoma will be eligible without the need for pathologic confirmation of the
diagnosis

- Standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective

- Patients who have not received any prior therapy for malignancy are also
eligible if they are ineligible for standard therapy due to hepatic dysfunction

- Patients with abnormal liver function will be eligible

- No distinction will be made between liver dysfunction due to metastases and
liver dysfunction due to other causes

- Patients with biliary obstruction for which a shunt has been placed are
eligible, provided the shunt has been in place for at least 10 days prior to the
first dose of vorinostat (SAHA) and liver function has stabilized

- Two measurements at least 2 days apart that put the patient in the same
hepatic dysfunction stratum will be accepted as evidence of stable hepatic
function

- No evidence of biliary sepsis

- Patients with gliomas or brain metastases who require corticosteroids or
anticonvulsants must be on a stable dose of corticosteroids and seizure free for 1
month prior to study enrollment

- Patients with known brain metastases should have had brain irradiation (whole
brain or gamma knife) more than 4 weeks before starting protocol treatment

- Patients with unstable or untreated (non-irradiated) brain metastases should be
excluded

- ECOG performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)

- Life expectancy > 3 months

- Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500/mm^3

- Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm^3

- Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception

- HIV-positive patients without an AIDS-defining diagnosis who are not receiving agents
with the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with vorinostat may be eligible

- Able to take oral medications on a continuous basis

- No uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements

- No active hemolysis

- More than 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas
or mitomycin C) and recovered

- Patients who have been treated with agents that persist in the body for longer
than 4 to 6 weeks (such as suramin) are ineligible during the elimination period
for those agents

- More than 14 days since prior major surgery

- No prior vorinostat

- At least 2 weeks since prior valproic acid or other histone deacetylase inhibitors

- More than 4 weeks since other prior investigational agents

- No concurrent combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-positive patients

- No concurrent therapy with enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants

- No concurrent prophylactic granulocyte growth factors during the first cycle of
therapy

- No other concurrent investigational or commercial agents or therapies

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Pharmacokinetic (PK) variables corresponding to the disposition of vorinostat (SAHA) (Group 1)

Outcome Description:

The Wilcoxon test will be used for PK data. Concentrations of vorinostat and 2 metabolites (vorinostat glucuronide and 4-anilino-4-oxobutanoic acid) will be quantitated with a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method that was developed and validated in our laboratory. Plasma concentration versus time data for vorinostat and metabolites will be analyzed non-compartmentally using the LaGrange function as implemented by the Lagran computer program.

Outcome Time Frame:

Days -6 and 1 of course 1

Safety Issue:

No
