Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well dasatinib works in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread to other areas of the body. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the 12-week progression-free survival rate and the objective response rate, as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated with dasatinib.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To define metabolic response rate by positron emission tomography (PET) scan at 0, 8, and 12 weeks.

II. To define overall survival distribution from initiation of dasatinib. III. To define duration of response. IV. To determine if there is a correlation between clinical benefit from dasatinib (defined as disease response or stabilization) and pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (phosphorylated Src [pSrc] expression in platelets), or changes in serum levels of cytokines, growth factors, and growth factor receptors relevant to the Src signaling pathway.

V. To examine the relationship between clinical benefit and mammary tumor and squamous cell carcinoma-associated protein (EMS1) gene amplification and cortactin expression levels in tumor tissue prior to therapy and the modulation of cortactin levels by treatment.

VI. To compare the effects of dasatinib on apoptosis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay in tumor tissues comparing pre- and post-treatment biopsies.

VII. To assess the tolerability of dasatinib in this patient population. VIII. To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and relative bioavailability of dasatinib suspension in patients receiving the drug through percutaneous gastrostomy tube.

IX. To descriptively assess safety, toxicity, and efficacy of dasatinib crushed and administered by feeding tube.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive dasatinib orally (PO) or via percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) tube twice daily (BID). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

Exclusion Criteria:

- Chemotherapy or palliative radiotherapy for recurrent and/or metastatic disease within 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or failure to recover to at least grade 1 from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier; concomitant chemoradiation therapy within 6 weeks prior to entering the study or failure to recover to at least grade 1 from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier

- Other anti-neoplastic agents, i.e., cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or investigational therapy, used to treat the primary disease will not be allowed during the study; local radiation (excluding radiotherapy to the target lesion) for supportive reasons involving a small radiation field may be allowed

- Patient has a history of uncontrolled or severe medical disease which could compromise participation in the study such as uncontrolled diabetes (fasting blood glucose > 200 mg/dl), uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] > 160 or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg), severe infection (bacterial infection requiring intravenous [IV] antibiotics or human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]), angina at rest, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV, ventricular arrhythmias requiring therapy, myocardial infarction within 6 months, > grade 2 neuropathy

- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents

- Patients who require concurrent treatment with any medications or substances that are potent inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) are ineligible; efforts should be made to switch patients with gliomas or brain metastases who are taking enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant agents to other medications

- Echocardiogram less than institutional normal measured by echocardiogram for subjects with history of congestive heart failure, symptoms of congestive heart failure, clinical evidence suggesting impaired cardiac function

- Patients may not have any clinically significant cardiovascular disease including the following:

- Myocardial infarction or ventricular tachyarrhythmia within 6 months

- Prolonged correct QT interval (QTc) > 480 msec (Fridericia correction)

- Major conduction abnormality (unless a cardiac pacemaker is present)

- Pregnant women and women who are currently breast-feeding may not participate in this study; all women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to enrolling in the study; postmenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential

- Patients having pleural effusion
