Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomized Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) With Cetuximab +/- Docetaxel Followed by Adjuvant Cetuximab +/- Docetaxel in Recurrent, Previously-Irradiated Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)
The aim of this trial is to examine the addition of docetaxel on disease progression, metastasis and survival of patients otherwise treated with SBRT and cetuximab alone. To better resolve the impact of the experimental treatment the presence/absence of prior cetuximab treatment will be determine before assigning treatment to either cetuximab and SBRT only or cetuximab, SBRT, and docetaxel.
The aim of this trial is to examine the addition of docetaxel on the overall survival of patients otherwise treated with SBRT and cetuximab alone. In addition, we will determine the difference in progression free survival (PFS), the rate of local recurrence (LR) and of distant metastases (DM) across the SBRT and cetuximab + docetaxel arm and the arm receiving SBRT and cetuximab alone. To better resolve the impact of the experimental treatment on PFS, LR, and DM, patients will be stratified by the presence/absence of prior cetuximab treatment and then randomized to either the control arm (cetuximab and SBRT only) or the experimental arm (cetuximab, SBRT, and docetaxel). ;
