Study Stopped
The early termination was NOT due to safety reasons, terminated because of the very slow recruitment and problematic access to the study medication in Europe

Brief Summary
Uterine sarcomas are rare tumors with a poor prognosis. The main purpose of this phase II proof-of-principle- pilot study is to test the efficacy of the hydroxamic acid-based Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) Vorinostat (SAHA) as monotherapy in patients with HDAC-positive, progressive, metastatic uterine sarcomas and mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumors after prior anti-proliferative therapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Change from Baseline Tumor Size to last available observation with respect to progress as defined by RECIST 1.1 (CT-Scan every 12 weeks up to 9 months)
9 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability)
9 months
Study Arms (1)
Vorinostat, Zolinza Oral Capsules
EXPERIMENTALVorinostat Oral Capsules 400mg daily
Interventions
Vorinostat, 400 mg orally once daily for the first 14 days of a 21 day cycle Treatment will be continued for 4 cycles. Patients with a response or stable disease after 4 cycles will be continued on vorinostat therapy at the tolerated schedule and dosage until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patients' withdrawal of the consent. At the maximum, a total of 12 cycles will be administered over a period of 9 months.

- Patient is not amenable for curative therapy
- Age \>= 18 years
- Estimated life expectancy \> 3 months
- Measurable disease on CT/MRI (at least one measurable lesion \>1cm) or chest X-ray (at least one measurable lesion \>2cm)
- Karnofsky performance status of 60-100
