Zolinza (Vorinostat or SAHA) Trials

A couple blogs ago, I posted about the use of Vorinostat (also known as SAHA, brand name Zolinza) for use in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.

When I was posting some new personal blogs on Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and I saw one person was in a clinical trial for SAHA! Sure enough, if you do a search of Hodgkin's trials on clinicaltrials.gov, there are two trials accepting Hodgkin's patients. Overall there appear to be six trialsfor the drug for different lymphomas.

In general, trials are a good thing to check out. It might expand treatment options for particular patients - at least something to talk to your doctor(s) about.
