A Window of Opportunity Trial of Cetuximab in Patients With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Cetuximab for Head and Neck Cancer and Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This clinical trial is for participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who are scheduled to have their tumor surgically removed. The study involves obtaining baseline tissue from a clinical biopsy or research biopsy and measurement of circulating tumor cells before surgery to determine whether AXL protein expression pre-treatment correlates to clinical outcomes (change in tumor size) after two doses of cetuximab. The importance of this study is to describe if AXL expression can be used as a biomarker to predict clinical response to cetuximab (CTX) treatment.
