Phase II Study of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel (GEMDOC) Combination in Patients With Previously Treated Recurrent or Metatstatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating docetaxel and Gemcitabine for Head and Neck Cancer. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel works in treating patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic head and neck cancer.
