Summary

This is an open-label phase II, multicenter study. Eligible patients will receive CP-751,871 in monotherapy (20 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of 3-week cycles). Tumor check-up will be performed every 6-8 weeks. Treatment will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities according to the patient or the investigator.

Detailed description

CP-751,871 will be administered as an open-label intravenous solution. All patients will be treated every 3 weeks until disease progression(by RECIST criteria) or unacceptable toxicity death or discontinuation from the study for any other reason. Since, head and neck tumors are easily accessible for iterative biopsy, this study will offer the opportunity to get tumor biopsies before and after CP-751,871. Our study will allow translational research with biopsies at crucial timing: (i) at baseline before any treatment, (ii) during the treatment with CP-751,871 (day 1, second cycle two hours after the injection of CP-751,871). (iii) for patients with stable disease or partial response, a new biopsy will be performed at the time of disease progression to try to understand the mechanisms of tumor resistance. The baseline samples will allow an investigation of molecular profiles that reflect an inherent inter-patient variability and which will be predictive of response. Although the number of patients included is low, these data may contribute to understand the mechanisms of response and non-response to CP-751,871. Understanding the mechanisms of response to CP-751,871 will help in the rational design of further clinical trials in head and neck cancer using CP-751,871. The on-treatment samples will help to dynamically monitor the molecular response to CP-751,871. The study of involved pathways before and after administration of CP-751,871 could be performed using IHC, DNA sequence analysis and RNA expression profiling. Plasma samples could be also stored for further analysis.
