Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of vorinostat that can be given with gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan with a stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to learn about the safety and level of effectiveness of this combination. Busulfan and melphalan are designed to kill cancer cells by binding to DNA (the genetic material of cells), which may cause cancer cells to die. Gemcitabine is designed to disrupt the growth of cancer cells, which may cause cancer cells to die. It may help to increase the effect of busulfan and melphalan on cancer cells by not allowing these cells to repair the DNA damage caused by busulfan or melphalan. Vorinostat is designed to open up the DNA and allow greater access to drugs that bind to DNA, such as gemcitabine, busulfan and melphalan.

Primary Outcome

No more than 2 patients enrolled at one time in new dose level, until toxicities of at least 1 of those are assessed \& determined not to be DLT, no more patients enrolled at new dose level. Dose escalation of vorinostat starts at level 1a (200 mg/day) and Gemcitabine (2175 mg/m2/day). If level tolerable, dose proceeds from level 2a (300 mg) to level 11a (1000 mg) at increase of 100 mg per level. If level 1a were not tolerable, i.e., greater than 20% DLTs (determined by Continual Reassessment Me
