Role of FCγRIIIA and FCγRIIA Receptor Polymorphisms in Cetuximab Activity Used in Palliative Treatment of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Tumours
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Cetuximab for Upper Gingival Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 121 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hypothesis: Cetuximab, an anti-EGFR antibody, is used with radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced and inoperable upper aerodigestive tract cancers. Actually, no predictive biomarkers of Cetuximab antitumor activity are known in this setting. It has been shown recently that FCγRIIIA and FCγRIIA receptor polymorphisms played a role in antitumor activity of trastuzumab and cetuximab. The investigators therefore hypothesized that FCγRIIIA and FCγRIIA receptor polymorphisms may play a predictive role in Cetuximab effectiveness in upper aerodigestive tract cancers with recurrence or metastatic disease that make them inaccessible to loco regional treatment.
