Phase II Study of Cetuximab With or Without OSI-906 in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

Lead Sponsor:

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Collaborating Sponsors:

OSI Pharmaceuticals

Conditions:

Head and Neck Cancer

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the addition of OSI-906 to cetuximab can improve response. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. Objectives: Primary Objective(s): T...

Detailed Description

Cetuximab is designed to prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells by blocking proteins on the cancer cell, called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). OSI-906 is designed to prevent or...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx.
  • Patients must be willing to have a biopsy of tumor tissue for biomarker analysis.
  • Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \>/= 20 mm with conventional techniques or as \>/= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Measurable lymph nodes are required to be \>/= 15 mm in size (short axis diameter). Measurable disease in previously radiated areas is acceptable as long as there has been documented progression.
  • Patients must have disease progression: 1) After platinum-based chemotherapy for recurrent/metastatic disease OR 2) Within 6 months of receiving definitive platinum-based combined modality therapy.
  • Previous treatment with cetuximab is allowed, as long as there has been a period \>/= 6 months between the last cetuximab treatment and randomization
  • All prior cytotoxic therapy must have been completed at least three weeks prior to treatment on study.
  • Age \>/= 18 years
  • ECOG performance status \</= 2 or Karnofsky \>/= 60%
  • Patients must have normal liver function as defined below: total bilirubin \</= institutional upper limit of normal and aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) \</= 2.5 \* institutional upper limit of normal.
  • Patients - both males and females - with reproductive potential (ie, menopausal for less than 1 year and not surgically sterilized) must practice effective contraceptive measures throughout the study. Women of childbearing potential must provide a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 14 days prior to registration.
  • Patients must provide verbal and written informed consent to participate in this study
  • Prior radiation treatment is acceptable as long as it has been completed one week prior to treatment on protocol.

Exclusion

  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents with anti-cancer activity.
  • Patients with known, untreated brain metastases. Patients with treated (irradiated or resected) brain metastases are eligible if treatment was completed \>/= 28 days prior to study entry and if clinical neurologic function is stable.
  • History of severe allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to OSI-906 or other agents used in the study.
  • QTc interval \> 450 msec at baseline.
  • Concomitant drugs with a generally accepted risk of causing Torsades de Pointes
  • Congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV
  • History of arrhythmia which is symptomatic and requires treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Patients with atrial fibrillation controlled on medication are not excluded.
  • Fasting blood sugar \> 150 mg/dl at baseline
  • Serious underlying medical condition which would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment, in the opinion of the treating physician.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding females.
