Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial is studying the how well saracatinib works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To determine the median progression-free survival for patients with advanced or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) treated with AZD0530 (saracatinib).
SECONDARY OBJEC TIVES:
  1. To determine overall survival for patients with advanced or recurrent HNSCC treated with AZD0530.

  2. To determine objective response rate for patients with advanced or recurrent HNSCC treated with AZD0530.

  3. For patients with accessible tumors, to perform pre and post-treatment biopsies to assess the pharmacodynamic effects of AZD0530 on c-Src and downstream signaling molecules STAT3 and STAT5.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive saracatinib orally (PO) or by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube once daily (QD) on days 1-56. Courses repeat every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 12 weeks and then periodically thereafter.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate [From the start of treatment for up to 12 weeks]

      Response was determined as inicated in the protocol.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival [Up to 12 weeks]

      The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate overall survival.
