PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 14 days

Population: Two (2) participants were enrolled; however, due to difficulty in recruitment, we were not able to complete the study. There were not study-specific analyses completed or results to report.

To determine the percentage change in proliferation index Ki-67 in both ER-positive and ER-negative tumors between baseline and post-treatment biopsy following 14 days of vorinostat 400 mg PO once daily and tamoxifen 20mg PO once daily in women with primary breast cancer awaiting definitive surgery.
