About this study

Official title: Proteomic Prediction of Clinical Benefit in HNSCC

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer. It may also help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at proteins in blood samples to predict treatment benefit in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify head and neck squamous cell cancer patients who will benefit from treatment with the EGFR inhibitors (i.e., erlotinib hydrochloride, gefitinib, and cetuximab) and VEGF inhibitor (i.e., bevacizumab), based on predictive proteomic profiles in patient blood samples.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Blood samples are analyzed for proteomic profile to determine good and bad prognoses in patients treated with or without EGFR inhibitors and/or a VEGF inhibitor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of patients who will benefit from treatment with EGFR and/or VEGF inhibitors based on serum proteomic profiles (time frame: upon analysis of each patient tissue collection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2013.
