Biomarkers in Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer Treated With Cisplatin and Cetuximab on ECOG-E5397
- Conditions
- Head and Neck Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT01466244
- Lead Sponsor
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.
PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in patients with metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer treated with cisplatin and cetuximab on ECOG-E5397.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Compare cetuximab activity, as reflected in response rate (RR), in PTEN-deficient and PTEN-expressing cancers.
Secondary
* Examine RR, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in PTEN-deficient and PTEN-expressing cancers, by treatment arm.
OUTLINE: Tissue microarray slides collected earlier from ECOG-E5397 are immunostained with PTEN antibody and analyzed with AQUA.
