SGCs are rare (less than 1% of head and neck cancers) and include many malignant histotypes. SGCs are treated mainly with surgery, followed by radiotherapy in selected cases. Chemotherapy is reserved for palliative treatment of metastases or local recurrence but results in term of response rate are very low. Adenoid cystic cancer (ACC) is the most common SGC histotype observed in metastatic subjects while the other histotypes (non-ACC) such as mucoepidermoid cancer (MEC), salivary duct gland cancer, adenocarcinoma, myoepithelial carcinoma are more uncommon. A phase II trial with sorafenib carried out in 37 subjects (19 ACC and 18 non-ACC) with recurrent and/or metastatic SGCs showed a response rate of 16% (11% in ACC and 22% in non-ACC). In preclinical models, VEGF seems to contribute to tumor aggressiveness and to distant metastatization of SGCs, in particular in ACC and MEC. Remarkably three confirmed partial responses, one ACC, one renal cancer and one lung cancer, on 36 patients were observed in a phase I study with Inlyta, a potent VEGFR specific-inhibitor approved by FDA as second line treatment for renal cancer. Based on these data, we want to test Inlyta in patients with relapsed and/or metastatic SGC.
This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of dovitinib in patients with progressive, recurrent and/or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). The primary purpose of this study is to assess the anti-cancer effects of dovitinib in this population in order to evaluate whether dovitinib is worthy of further study in patients with progressive ACC.
