    <intervention_model_description>This will be a modified 3+3 dose-escalation design with a primary endpoint of dose-limiting toxicity. All cohorts will receive the same dose of FOLFOX, once every 2 weeks. All cohorts will receive entinostat on days 1,8, 15, and 22 of 28 day cycles. Cohorts will vary in their dose of entinostat as follows:&#xD;
Cohort 0: 2mg&#xD;
Cohort 1: 3mg&#xD;
Cohort 2: 4mg&#xD;
Cohort 3: 5mg&#xD;
Dosing will start with cohort 1. If no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed, the dose will be escalated directly to cohort 3. If any DLTs are experienced in cohort 1, three additional subjects will be enrolled in cohort 1. If no DLTs are experience by the additional subjects, the dose will be escalated to cohort 2. If a DLT occurs in two subjects in any dose cohort, dose escalation will be halted, and the next three subjects will be enrolled at the next lower dose cohort.</intervention_model_description>

             laboratory finding that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of&#xD;
