Vorinostat and Alvocidib in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
In brief
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with alvocidib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat and alvocidib, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vorinostat together with alvocidib may kill more tumor cells.
