Brief summary
This is a study to assess the combination of PXD101 and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)in patients with advanced solid tumors. The primary goal of the study is to understand the safety, anti-tumor activity, and how the study drug behaves within the body when given with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU).
Interventions
300, 600, or 1000 mg/m2 belinostat IV for 5 days every 21 days starting with cycle 1
250, 500, 750, or 1000 mg/m2/d of 5-FU starting with cycle 2 onwards in combination with belinostat. Starting on day 2, 5-FU is administered as a continuous 96 hour infusion.

Exclusion criteria
* Significant cardiovascular disease. * A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval * Long QT syndrome * Required use of medication on dosing days that may cause torsade de pointes. * Infections requiring intravenous (IV) systemic therapy * Pregnant or nursing women * Treatment with chemotherapy or investigational therapy \< 4 weeks (28 days) prior to study entry (6 weeks for nitrosoureas, mitomycin C, or Avastin). * Treatment with radiation therapy or surgery either within 2 weeks prior to study entry, or not yet recovered if 2-4 weeks prior to study entry. * Unwillingness or inability to comply with protocol procedures. * Known active uncontrolled infection with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C * Serious nonmalignant disease (e.g. hydronephrosis, liver failure, or other conditions) that could compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the investigator and/or the sponsor * Concurrent use of other investigational agent(s) * Serious concurrent medical illness
