Irinotecan and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Locally Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Head and Neck Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00040807
Lead Sponsor
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan and docetaxel in treating patients who have metastatic or locally recurrent head and neck cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the response rate in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent head and neck cancer treated with irinotecan and docetaxel.

* Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

* Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

* Correlate angiogenesis markers and cyclooxygenase-2 expression with response and survival in patients treated with this regimen.

* Correlate UGT1A1 genotype with the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy (no prior chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic disease or more than 6 months since prior chemotherapy as primary therapy vs 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for locally recurrent or metastatic disease or less than 6 months since prior chemotherapy as primary therapy).

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes followed by irinotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32-72 patients (16-36 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 6-14 months.
