Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are a novel class of anti-tumor agents, recently approved for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of how this class of drug induces tumor cell death. These studies are designed to provide insight into which patients are most likely to benefit from treatment with these agents. Second, they will provide direction into how the therapeutic efficacy of HDACi may be enhanced, through combination with other existing therapeutics.
