PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of first day of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 weeks

Population: Efficacy analysis PFSR12w population: all patients who have received at least one dose of study medication have been included.

Progression Free Survival was defined as time from first treatment until progression or death from any cause.

Interval 18.0 to 37.2

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 weeks for each dosing cohort

Population: Fourteen patients were treated with escalation doses of vorinostat.

In the phase I, a classic 3 + 3 dose escalation method with 3 patients treated initially at each dose level was used. MTD was determined by testing on dose escalation cohorts: continuous full dose of erlotinib 150 mg orally (p.o.) in a daily administration(QD) and escalating doses of vorinostat p.o. at three dose levels:300 mg QD 7 days every 21 days, 400 mg QD 7 days every 21 days,and 400 mg QD, 7 days every other week. MTD reflects the highest dose of drug that did not cause a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in less than or equal to 1 in 6 patients. DLTs were defined as any Vorinostat-related Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0 (CTCAE 3.0) Grade 3 or 4 adverse events.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the date of randomization until end of follow up, up to 36 months.

The time to progression has been defined as the time that elapses, in months, since the patient begins study treatment until the patient progresses or dies from the disease, the first thing that occurs. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
