Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Single arm, open label
At the study entry each patient will receive a dose level assignment which will include a specific dose level and the dose of IV belinostat in mg/m2 to be administered during the study treatment. Belinostat will be infused over 30 minutes once daily on Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle. On Day 3, the infusion of belinostat must be completed at least 1 hour prior to the start of the paclitaxel infusion. Dose of belinostat will be assigned at study entry. The same dose and level will remain throughout the entire study for each patient and no dose adjustment will be allowed, except due to toxicity.
