2) Age >/= 18 years old
3) Patients with biopsy-confirmed mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome stages IIB-IVA. Patients who have SS with bone marrow involvement are also eligible. Patients with transformed CTCL are eligible. Disease state for eligibility is based on the stage at time of study enrollment. However, patients with any history of visceral involvement of their CTCL will not be eligible for this study.
4) Patients must have been treated with at least 2 prior systemic treatment regimens. One of these prior regimens must be an HDAC inhibitor given for the treatment of CTCL. Patients who have only had prior treatment with an HDAC inhibitor for non-CTCL indications (e.g., valproic acid for the treatment of seizures) are not eligible. Patients must have received prior therapy with an HDAC inhibitor (documentation of prior use or resistance to vorinostat (Zolinza), romidepsin (Chromadax), or another HDAC inhibitor (e.g. PDX101, Savicol, Baceca, MS-275, MGCD0103, & MG98).
5) Patients must have had disease progression on or following their most recent treatment regimen. Patients are also eligible if they had an inadequate response to their most recent treatment regimen defined as stable disease as the best response after at least 3 months of therapy.
6) Patients must have the following laboratory values: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >/= 1.5 x 10^ 9/L,Hemoglobin (Hgb) >/= 9 g/dl, Platelets >/= 100 x 10^9/L, Serum potassium >/= the lower limit of normal (LLN), Serum calcium (total corrected for serum albumin or ionized calcium) >/= LLN, Serum magnesium >/= LLN, Serum phosphorus >/= LLN, AST/SGOT and ALT/SGPT </= 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Serum bilirubin </= 1.5 x ULN, Serum creatinine </= 1.5 x ULN, TSH and free T4 WNL (patients may be on thyroid hormone replacement), Albumin >/= 3 g/dL (continued in #7)
7) Potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus supplements may be given to correct values that are < LLN, but these must be documented as corrected prior to patients enrolling on the study.
8) Baseline MUGA or ECHO must demonstrate LVEF >/= the lower limit of the institutional normal.
9) ECOG Performance Status </= 2 |
