New Studies 

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (PDF):An Open-label, Nonrandomized, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Belinostat in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors or Hematological Malignancies Who Have Wild-Type, Heterozygous, and Homozygous UGT1A1*28 Genotypes (NCT03276268

The purpose of this research study is to determine the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of belinostat in patients with wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous UGT1A1*28 genotypes.
