Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sorafenib tosylate and docetaxel when given together with cisplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib tosylate may also help cisplatin and docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Giving sorafenib tosylate, cisplatin, and docetaxel may be an effective treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To define progression-free survival of patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma treated with cisplatin/docetaxel/sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) (CDS) combination chemotherapy. (Phase II) II. To determine the optimal doses of cisplatin/docetaxel/sorafenib to be used in the phase II portion of the trial. (Phase I)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine overall survival, response rate, conduct biomarker studies, toxicities.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of sorafenib tosylate and docetaxel followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive sorafenib tosylate orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14 of course 0. Beginning in course 1, patients receive sorafenib tosylate PO BID on days 1-21, docetaxel intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1, and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive sorafenib tosylate PO BID in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as graded according to the NCI-CTCAE v4.0 (Phase I) A DLT will be considered a grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity or grade 4 hematologic toxicity that are probably or definitely related to treatment and result in treatment delay of more than 14 days. Day 21 of course 1
Primary Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase II) PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Time of enrollment to the date of progression diagnosis or death, assessed up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment
Secondary Overall survival (OS) OS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment
Secondary Response rate evaluated by RECIST v1.1 Up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment
Secondary Biomarker levels Biomarkers from tissue and blood samples will be evaluated and correlated with outcome parameters. Correlative biomarkers will be analyzed using mixed model for repeated measurement to account for the association of measures overtime from the same patient. Up to 42 days
Secondary Incidence of toxicities, graded according to NCI-CTCAE version 4.0 Up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment
