Summary

This study is to evaluate disease control rate (DCR) at 8 weeks of BKM120 administered as therapy for patient with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Detailed description

One promising approach to the treatment of cancer is inhibition or modulating the crucial signal transduction pathway of PI3K-Akt-mTOR. Several PI3K inhibitors are being tested in the clinical trials for cancer treatment but not for the head and neck cancer yet. BKM120 is a specific Pan-class I PI3K inhibitor. We suggest multicenter single arm phase II study to determine anti-tumor effects of BKM120 in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN who failed to prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimens.

Conditions

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
DRUGBKM120Patients will be instructed to take BKM120 orally at a dose of 100 mg with a glass of water once daily, in a fasting state or with a light fat-free meal, and as close as possible to the same time each day. The patient will be dosed on a flat scale of mg/day and not be adjusted to body weight or body surface area. If vomiting occurs no attempt should be made to replace the dose. • BKM120 should be taken 1-hour following a light meal. Please note that patients must avoid consumption of Seville orange (and juice), grapefruit or grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos and exotic citrus fruits from 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug and during the entire study treatment period due to potential CYP3A4 interaction. Regular orange juice is allowed.
