Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment


Intervention

Drug:
vorinostat
A 2-part, crossover study. Part 1: Arm A: Single dose of vorinostat 800 mg capsules (Period 1) crossing over to Single dose of vorinostat Placebo capsules (Period 2) Arm B: Single dose of vorinostat Placebo capsules (Period 1) crossing over to Single dose of vorinostat 800 mg capsules (Period 2). Part 2: All patients will receive 400 mg vorinostat capsules once daily. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
Comparator: placebo (unspecified)
A 2-part, crossover study. Part 1: Arm A: Single dose of vorinostat Placebo capsules (Period 2) Arm B: Single dose of vorinostat Placebo capsules (Period 1).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 0.5 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 0.5 hours Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 1 Hour Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 1 hour Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 2 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 2 hours Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 3 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 3 hours Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 4 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The placebo-corrected change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF change from baseline for placebo at each timepoint from the QTcF change from baseline for vorinostat at each timepoint. Baseline and 4 hours Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 8 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 8 hours Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 12 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 12 hours Yes
Primary Change From Baseline in QTcF at 24 Hours The Fridericia correction of the QT interval (QTcF) was determined at each time point from five replicate measurements. The change from baseline in QTcF was calculated by subtracting the QTcF value at each timepoint from the QTcF baseline (predose) value. Baseline and 24 hours Yes
