Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety and best dose of a drug called vorinostat when given with the chemotherapy temozolomide for people with malignant gliomas, a type of aggressive brain cancer. The goal was to see if the combination could kill more tumor cells by making them more sensitive to treatment. The study involved 83 adults with recurrent brain tumors and focused on finding the safest dose and any side effects.
