Role of FCγRIIIA and FCγRIIA Receptor Polymorphisms (FCRVADS)

April 9, 2013 updated by: Institut Bergonié

Role of FCγRIIIA and FCγRIIA Receptor Polymorphisms in Cetuximab Activity Used in Palliative Treatment of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Tumours

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.

Detailed Description

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.

We 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.

This study is a multicentre prospective pharmacogenetic observational study, conducted on locally advanced and inoperable upper aerodigestive tract cancers.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free survival Overall survival Toxicity
Time Frame: Progression-free survival: Tumour evaluation will be done at baseline and at 4 months or until the earlier of the following events: disease progression, patient death.
Overall survival: defined as the time between the first cycle of chemotherapy and the date of death, all causes. In the absence of death confirmation, survival data are censored from the date of last news
Progression-free survival: Tumour evaluation will be done at baseline and at 4 months or until the earlier of the following events: disease progression, patient death.
