Randomized, double-blind phase III trial. A total of 211 patients (alpha 0.5, power 0.8)with
cisplatin-resistant recurrent or persistent cancer will be randomized to topotecan + placebo
or topotecan + hydralazine + valproate for 6 courses every 4 weeks. Patients will receive an
oral dose of hydralazine of 182mg (rapid) or 83mg (slow) according to the acetylator
