Measure
Treatment (Vorinostat)
Patients receive oral vorinostat (SAHA) once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve complete response (CR) after 4 courses receive an additional 3 courses. All other patients may continue treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Blood samples are taken on day 15 of course 1, day 1 of course 2, during the last week of course 4, and at completion of study treatment. Blood is examined for interleukin (IL)-6, IL-6 receptor, and gp130 levels.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 6 months

Population: The primary objective was to determine the number of patients wtih progression-free survival at 6 months. Unfortunately all eligible patients were off therapy before the 6 month time point. 13 (48%) were removed due to progression, 11 (41%) secondary to toxicity, and 3 (11%) for other reasons.

Fisher's Exact Test will be used.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: Of the 29 patients enrolled, 2 were deemed ineligible after treatment and therefore excluded from outcome analysis.

The percentage of eligible participants that experience grade 3 or 4 toxicities.

Incidence of Toxicity
48 percentage of participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: No PSA declines of greater than or equal to 50% were observed, therefore the rate could not be determined.

Rate of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) decline of greater than or equal to 50%.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the start of treatment to time of progression, assessed up to 3 years

Population: Of the 29 patients enrolled, two patients were deemed ineligible after treatment and therefore excluded from analysis.

Median time to progression was determined.
