Clinical trials

There is an ongoing phase II trial studying the effect of entinostat on Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is in other phase II trials for advanced breast cancer (in combination with aromatase inhibitors) and for metastatic lung cancer (in combination with erlotinib). As of September 2013, the Food and Drug Administration is working with the industry to design phase III clinical trials. They seek to evaluate the application of Entinostat for the reduction, or prevention of, treatment resistance to aromatase inhibitors in hormone receptor positive breast cancer.
