Brief Title: A Clinical Trial to Validate Molecular Targets of Vorinostat in Patients With Aerodigestive Tract Cancer
Official Title: A Clinical Trial to Validate Molecular Targets of Vorinostat in Patients With Aerodigestive Tract Cancer
Study ID: NCT00735826
Brief Summary: The primary aim is to study the effects of vorinostat on cyclin E, cyclin D1 and Ki-67 expression in aerodigestive tract tumors (lung, esophagus, and head and neck). Secondary aims are: To evaluate the concentration of vorinostat in tumor tissue and to correlate tumor tissue distribution with the plasma level in these patients; to perform exploratory analyses of the effects of vorinostat on the induction of apoptosis or necrosis in treated as compared to untreated tumors and on expression of p21, p27, EGFR and phospho-EGFR in aerodigestive tract tumors.
