Study Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Primary Outcome

Objective response is measured using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in RECIST criteria. Complete Response (CR) - Disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) - at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) - At least a 20% increase in the sum of the
