---|---|
Experimental: Single-arm dose escalation |
Drug: belinostat
300, 600, or 1000 mg/m2 belinostat IV for 5 days every 21 days starting with cycle 1
Other Name: PXD101 Drug: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) 250, 500, 750, or 1000 mg/m2/d of 5-FU starting with cycle 2 onwards in combination with belinostat. Starting on day 2, 5-FU is administered as a continuous 96 hour infusion.
Other Name: 5-FU |
- to determine the maximum tolerated dose of PXD101 administered in combination with 5-FU [ Time Frame: throughout the study ]
- to determine whether PXD101 alone can down-regulate thymidylate synthase in patient tumors [ Time Frame: throughout the study ]
