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.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Vorinostat

Vorinostat will be administered orally once daily in an open-labeled, unblinded manner to all subjects enrolled in the study. Subjects will receive vorinostat 400 mg once daily on a continuous daily basis for 7 to 10 days prior to surgical resection. Vorinostat should be taken with food within 0 to 30 minutes of a meal if possible. Patients should take the medication at approximately the same time each day on an ongoing basis. Missed doses will not be made up.
