Head and Neck Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Protocol IL-2001: A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Randomized Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Intratumoral Injections of hIl-2 Plasmid (1.8 mg) Formulated With DOTMA/Cholesterol [Ratio 1:0.5(-/+)] Liposomes in Patients With Unresctable or Recurrent/Refractory Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

RATIONALE: Inserting the gene for interleukin-2 into head and neck cancer cells may make the
body build an immune response to kill the tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use
different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet
known whether the interleukin-2 gene is more effective than methotrexate for advanced head
and neck cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of the interleukin-2 gene
with that of methotrexate in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory stage III or
stage IV head and neck cancer.
