The combination of azacitidine (Vidaza) and valproic acid is safe and active in advanced solid tumors - A.O. Soriano; Abstract #3547; June 2, 2007; 2-6pm; McCormick Place Convention Center, S102a
Results were reported this afternoon from a Phase I study of Azacitidine, a DNA hypomethylating agent, in combination with valproic acid, an HDAC inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study, which included patients with advanced forms of 10 different solid tumors, evaluated the safety and activity of the two compounds in combination.
Of 55 evaluable patients, 14 patients, or 25 percent, were observed to experience stable disease in a variety of advanced solid tumors. The duration of the patients' stable disease was four to 12 months, with a median of six months.
These data show that the combination of the two compounds was safe and active in patients with advanced solid tumors The data also indicated that the maximum tolerated dose of azacitidine when used in the combination was 75 mg/m2. Significant global DNA hypomethylation and histone acetylation were demonstrated.
