Panobinostat and Epirubicin in Treating Patients With Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors

Lead Sponsor:

University of California, San Francisco

Collaborating Sponsors:

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Conditions:

Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-120 years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Panobinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, work in different ways to stop the gr...

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Primary * To determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase II dose of panobinostat when administered with epirubicin hydrochloride in patients w...
