Study Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Primary Outcome

Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and are assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), at least 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Objective Response (OR) = CR+ PR.
