Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Head and Neck Cancer

Head and Neck Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Phase II Trial of Paclitaxel (TAXOL) Administered as a Weekly One Hour Infusion in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients with recurrent or refractory head and neck cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate of paclitaxel as salvage therapy in patients with recurrent or refractory head and neck cancer. II. Evaluate the safety of paclitaxel in this patient population. III. Assess the overall survival and quality of life in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open label, multicenter, nonrandomized study. Patients receive intravenous paclitaxel over 1 hour weekly. Each course consists of four weeks. Patients receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects are observed. Patients are followed every 2 months for the first year, then every 4 months until completion of treatment, and then every 3 months until death. Patients complete a quality of life questionnaire prior to each of the first 6 courses, then every 2 courses thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study. ;
