LCCC 1330 - A Phase II Study of Weekly Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Cetuximab for Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)

Detailed Description
Because of their high response rates and low toxicity, the taxane, carboplatin, cetuximab regimens have frequently been adapted for use in the palliative setting. At UNC, we have observed high rates of response, leading to symptomatic benefit and low toxicity. Further, the regimen de-medicalizes the patient's life in several important ways. First, unlike with the EXTREME regimen, no PORT or 4 day infusion is required. Second, the regimen gives only six weeks of cytotoxic therapy. Finally, in our experience there is a low rate of severe toxicity and this, coupled with the high rate of response, may improve quality of life. We are not aware of any presented or published results on the use of this combination in palliative therapy; with the adoption of this regimen in clinical practice, documentation of its benefit via conduct of a clinical trial is needed.
We propose a study designed to detect an improvement in median OS versus a historical control. The control arm from the EXTREME trial achieved a median OS of 7.4 months. We hypothesize that a less toxic and more effective 3-drug regimen will result in improved median OS compared with the control arm from EXTREME (median 7.4 months). The toxicity associated with EXTREME is primarily attributable to the cisplatin and 5FU cytotoxic backbone as its toxicity has been consistent in multiple studies of both palliative therapy and induction therapy. If a 4-month improvement in OS is achieved with acceptable toxicity, we will consider this regimen worth of further study.
Secondary objectives will include characterizing changes in quality of life (QoL), symptoms and toxicities. Patients will be encouraged to co-enroll into the UNCseq protocol for further exploration of associations between genetic changes and clinical outcomes.

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) with negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days of D1 of treatment
- WOCBP and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for duration of treatment under this protocol; adequate contraception is defined as any medically recommended method (or combination of methods) per standard of care.
- Cancer must be considered incurable by the treating clinician
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of prior cumulative exposure to > 300mg/m2 cisplatin, AUC of 18 of carboplatin, or their combined equivalent within one year prior to enrollment
- Surgery or radiation within the four weeks prior to D1 of treatment under this protocol
- Prior systemic chemotherapy unless it was part of definitive-intent (curative intent) treatment more than 6 months before study entry
- Other active, invasive malignancy requiring ongoing therapy or expected to require systemic therapy within two years; localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, basal-cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in-situ of the cervix, or other malignancies requiring locally ablative therapy only will not result in exclusion
- Pregnant or lactating female

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Cetuximab
A 6 week course of weekly carboplatin, paclitaxel, and cetuximab will be administered to 38 patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
Once protocol therapy is complete, cetuximab may be continued if the patient and physician agree.
Within 3 weeks of the end of protocol therapy, response will be assessed, and if the patient has achieved at least stable disease, the treating physician may continue to treat with weekly cetuximab at their discretion until disease progression.
Patients will be followed for a maximum of 3 years after the end of the 6 week treatment phase.
|
400mg/m2 IV (in the vein) on day 1 of week 1 and 250mg/m2 IV (in the vein) on day 1 of weeks 2-6.
Patients with stable disease may continue on maintenance therapy at the 250mg/m2 dose until disease progression.
Other Names:
135mg/m2 IV (in the vein) on day 1 of each 1 week for 6 weeks.
Other Names:
AUC2, IV (in the vein) on day 1 of each 1 week for 6 weeks.

Median Overall Survival
Time Frame: 36 months

Median Progression Free Survival
Time Frame: 36 months
|
Progression events will be defined per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions Progression free survival after treatment with weekly carboplatin, paclitaxel and cetuximab for 6 weeks with or without the addition of maintenance weekly cetuximab is defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment until progression or death as a result of any cause.

Head and Neck Quality of Life Assessments
Time Frame: Baseline, End of treatment (EOT), First follow-up visit (8-12 weeks after EOT)
|
Quality of life (QOL) as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-HN) questionnaire.
The FACT-HN is the FACT-General (FACT-G) and a head and neck cancer specific, 12 item subscale given at baseline, at end of treatment, and at first follow-up visit.
The FACT-G is a 27 item measure of general QOL assessing function in 4 domains: physical well-being (PWB), social-family well-being (SFWB), emotional well-being (EWB) and functional well-being (FWB).
Items are rated by patients on a Likert scale from 0 to 4, with all subscales summed to give a total score with a range of 0-148 Higher scores represent better QOL.
