Belinostat and Azacitidine in Treating Patients With Advanced Hematologic Cancers or Other Diseases

NCT00351975

Phase 1 Completed 56 enrolled National Cancer Institute (NCI)
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of belinostat when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancers or other diseases. Belinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving belinostat together with azacitidine may kill more cancer cells.
