Study Summary

This is a Phase I dose escalation trial with escalating doses of Valproic acid and one dose escalation step of epirubicin. VPA will be escalated starting at a dose that is recommended for use as an anti-convulsant or to treat migraine headaches. Epirubicin will be given by infusion on day 3 after the last dose of divalproex. The study will determine the highest dose that these two drugs can be given together and as part of a multidrug regimen with 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide.

Primary Outcome

MTD of Valproic acid in combination with Epirubicin. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be defined as the highest dose level at which less than 2 out of 6 patients (\<33%) experience DLT in Cycle 1. A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be defined as any one of the specific adverse events (AEs) outlined in the protocol, occurring during Cycle 1 when considered related to therapy that is part of this study.

Interventions

  • DRUG 5-fluorouracil
  • DRUG Epirubicin
