This was a multi-center, open-label, Phase Ib dose escalation /Phase II study in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (RM HNSCC) patients considered to be resistant, ineligible or intolerant to platinum-based chemotherapy. The Phase Ib included three arms. Three different methods of administration and two different BYL719 formulations were studied to determine the MTD and/or RP2D of BYL719 in combination with cetuximab: Arm A - film-coated whole tablets were orally administered to patients who were able to swallow the tablets; Arm B - a drinkable suspension prepared from crushed film-coated tablets was administered orally to patients with swallowing dysfunction Arm C - a suspension from a dispersible tablet administered via G-tube, in patients with swallowing dysfunction. Arm C was used to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), compared to Arm A (film coated tablet), and safety of the dispersible tablet of the dispersible tablet formulation of BYL719. The Phase II investigated the clinical efficacy of BYL719 and consisted of an open label, randomized Phase II part investigating BYL719 in combination with cetuximab compared to cetuximab alone in patients resistant or intolerant to platinum and naïve to cetuximab (Scheme 1: Arm 1 and Arm 2), and a non-randomized Phase II part Scheme 2: Arm 3. In addition, patients who experienced disease progression in Arm 2 (cetuximab) were allowed to switch to the combination regimen (cross-over, Arm 2B). The safety of the BYL719 in combination with cetuximab was also further characterized in Arms 1, 2B and 3. Patients were treated until progression of disease), unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurred first (except for phase II Arm 2 had the opportunity to crossover to the combination treatment (Arm 2B). In the follow-up period all patients had to complete the safety follow-up assessments within 30 days after the last dose of the study treatment. Patients who did not have disease progression at the time of discontinuation of study treatment were radiologically followed for disease status until disease progression, initiation of subsequent anticancer therapies, or death, whichever occurred first. In addition, all patients enrolled in Phase II were followed for survival.
This primary purpose of this study is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and preferred dosing schedule of LJM716 given by IV infusion in adult patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, or esophagus, or HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer or gastric cancer
The present study is a randomized, control, phase II study of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in Northwest China treated with Gemcitabine plus cisplatin regimen (GP) or Docetaxel plus cisplatin regimen (TP) induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The population consists of stage III-IVb nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The effectiveness, side effects and quality of life will be evaluated according to Standard WHO response criteria, NCI-CTC AE V3.0 and EORTC QLQ-C30 and H&N35 questionnaire.
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin work in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the vulva that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving radiation therapy together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.
The incorporation of novel targeted therapies to radiation therapy is of particular interest in head and neck cancer and may improve efficacy without significantly increasing toxicity. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of a second EGFR-targeted agent that inhibits EGFR at the intracellular level will improve the antitumor effect of standard radiation and cetuximab. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and the biologic effects in patients with locally advanced SCCHN of an antisense gene targeting the EGFR in combination with standard therapy with radiation and cetuximab.
The primary objective of this trial is to study whether paclitaxel plus 5-fluorouracil has better overall survival than cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil in chemoradiotherapy for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. 436 patients will be recruited into this study.
The historical standard treatment for early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx is radiation therapy. Some patients require chemotherapy with the radiation, and some patients require surgery if the tumour or lymph nodes have not responded after radiation. This study will compare radiation therapy with a new surgical treatment called transoral robotic surgery (TORS). TORS is a new surgical approach using a robot to assist the surgeon in removing the tumour, potentially with fewer side effects than older surgical techniques.
Locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is treated with various combinations of radiation and chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the rate of complete responses with induction therapy (primary endpoint) and progression-free survival, overall survival and objective response rates of docetaxel, cisplatin, cetuximab, and bevacizumab (TPE-A) followed by radiation therapy, cisplatin, cetuximab, and bevacizumab (XPE-A). Also, the investigators plan to investigate a panel of EGFR and angiogenesis biomarkers in pre-and post- treatment tumor biopsies. Finally, the investigators will evaluate the associated treatment toxicities and the quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to verify the discriminatory value of previously identified salivary transcriptome and proteome markers for oral squamous cell cancer in an intended use population of patients with oral lesions suspicious for cancer.
