Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant high-grade (poorly differentiated or undifferentiated) salivary gland carcinoma of the head and neck (except adenoid cystic carcinoma) that is either metastatic or recurrent and is not amenable to salvage surgical resection or radiation therapy; eligible histologies are adenocarcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, salivary duct carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma
  • Patients must have tumors that car HER-2 gene amplification as determined by (i) fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or (ii) overexpression of HER-2 protein, 2+ to 3+ level assessed by immunohistochemistry
  • Patients must have measurable disease; all measurable disease must be assessed within 28 days prior to registration; all non-measurable disease must be assessed within 42 days prior to registration
  • Patients with known brain metastases are not eligible for this trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events
  • Patients must have and must be willing to submit tumor tissue for pathology review and translational medicine studies; patients must be offered the opportunity to participate in specimen banking for future research
  • Patients previously treated with chemotherapy are eligible provided that at least (28 days) has elapsed since the last course of chemotherapy was completed and patient has recovered from all toxicities
Show all 23Show fewer
  • Prior radiation must have been completed at least 28 days prior to registration and all toxicities must have resolved (in the opinion of the treating investigator); prior surgery must have been completed at least 28 days prior to registration and all surgical adverse events must have resolved (in the opinion of the treating investigator)
  • Patients must not be planning on receiving any other investigational agents, other chemotherapeutic agents, radiation therapy, or hormonal therapy while receiving treatment on this study except for steroids administered for non-disease-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes)
  • Patients must have a Zubrod Performance status of 0-2
  • WBC count >= 2,000 ul within 28 days prior to registration
  • ANC count >= 1,000/ul within 28 days prior to registration

  • Bilirubin =< 2.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal within 28 days prior to registration
  • SGOT or SGPT =< 2.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal within 28 days prior to registration
  • Patients with liver metastases must have bilirubin and SGOT or SGPT =< 5 x the institutional upper limit of normal
  • Serum creatinine < 2.5 x the institutional limit of normal within 28 days prior to registration
  • Patients with a known history of allergic reactions to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to trastuzumab are not eligible
  • No prior malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for five years
  • Patients must not be pregnant or nursing; women/men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method
  • If day 28 or 42 falls on a weekend or holiday, the limit may be extended to the next working day
  • In calculating days of tests and measurements, the day a test or measurement is done is considered day 0; therefore, if a test is done on a Monday, the Monday four weeks later would be considered day 28; this allows for efficient patient scheduling without exceeding the guidelines
  • Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines
  • At the time of patient registration, the treating institution's name and ID number must be provided to the data operations center in Seattle in order to ensure that the current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this study has been entered into the data base

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Trastuzumab (NSC-688097) in Advanced High Grade Salivary Gland Carcinoma

This phase II trial is studying how well trastuzumab works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent salivary gland cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess response (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial response) in patients with advanced high-grade salivary gland carcinoma treated with trastuzumab.

II. To assess one-year progression-free survival and one-year overall survival for patients treated with this regimen.

III. To assess the toxicities associated with this treatment regimen in this group of patients.

IV. To measure the indicators of C-erb B2 oncoprotein expression and C-erb B2 oncogene amplification and epidermal growth factor receptor expression and explore the relationship between these markers and response, progression-free survival and overall survival in preliminary fashion.

OUTLINE: Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 8 weeks until disease progression and then every 3 months for 1 year and every 6 months until 3 years from study entry.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial response) in patients treated with trastuzumab

    A true response probability of 30% or greater would be of interest.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: From date of registration to date of first documentation of progression or symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with High-grade Salivary Gland Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma and Recurrent Salivary Gland Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 23 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Response (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial response) in patients treated with trastuzumab (time frame: Up to 4 years). 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 28 Feb 2013.
