A Phase II Study of Capecitabine and Lapatinib in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating lapatinib ditosylate and capecitabine for Head and Neck Cancer and 19 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving capecitabine together with lapatinib ditosylate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine and lapatinib ditosylate together works in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
