Summary

This study aims to find the best dose of the drug belinostat for people with high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas based on their genetic makeup. Some people have a gene variant that affects how quickly their body processes belinostat, so adjusting the dose may reduce side effects and improve outcomes. About 60 adults with this rare cancer will receive belinostat along with two other chemotherapy drugs, and those who benefit may continue belinostat alone for up to 5 years.
