Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat, 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 blood flow to the tumor.

- description
- Patients receive oral vorinostat (SAHA) twice daily on days 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, and 22-24. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 52 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may have the option of continuing treatment beyond 52 weeks at the discretion of the investigator.

- Objective Response
- timeFrame
- 1 year
- description
- Objective response is measured using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST criteria. Complete Response (CR) - Disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) - at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) - At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions, Stable Disease (SD) - Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.
