Measure
Vorinostat
Trial participants were treated with Vorinostat (3 days on/4 days off regimen) to limit toxicity. Subjects were initially dosed with 200 mg (two 100 mg capsules) by mouth daily for three months, followed by dose escalation to 400 mg (four 100 mg capsules) by mouth daily for three months.
