Vorinostat and Azacitidine in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Acute Myeloid Leukemia
NCT00392353 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat and azacitidine and to see how well they work in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vorinostat together with azacitidine may kill more cancer or abnormal cells.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00392353
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00392353 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 135 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Cancer Institute (NCI), which has 2,390 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 9 conditions, with Myelodysplastic Syndrome appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Azacitidine is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00392353 reports 7 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include New York, Illinois, Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
