Who may be able to join

  • Signed informed consent to treatment
  • Histological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin not amenable to surgical treatment with curative purposes or with clinical contraindication to surgery (examples of medical contraindications to surgery include but are not limited to: skin SCC that has recurred in the same location after two or more surgical procedures and curative resection is deemed unlikely; anticipated substantial morbidity and/or deformity from surgery (e.g., removal of all or part of a facial structure, such as nose, ear, eyelid, eye; or requirement for limb amputation); anticipated difficulty in obtaining a curative resection due to the location of the tumour, the size of disease; anticipated difficulty in reconstructing the area that will be surgically removed; significant comorbidities that preclude the feasibility of a radical surgery

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Single Agent Pan-HER Inhibitor Dacomitinib in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Squamous Cell Cancer of the Skin or With Clinical Contraindication to Surgery

This is an open label, monocentric, uncontrolled phase II trial with Dacomitinib, a pan-HER inhibitor, in unresectable or metastatic skin SCC.

HER2 expression is common in skin SCC, being reported with high rates, even if in small studies.

Coexpression of EGFR, HER2 and HER3 is present in skin SCCs but not in normal skin and it could be associated with the malignant phenotype. In this frame Dacomitinib could play a role in the increase of the response rate.

Read the detailed description

The patients will assume Dacomitinib 30 mg daily for the first 2 weeks. If the highest skin toxicity will be of grade <2, then the patients will start dacomitinib at 45 mg once daily and they will be clinically assessed every cycle (i.e. every 28 days).

If the highest skin toxicity will be grade >2, then the patient will interrupt the treatment following the criteria for dose reduction.

Tumor evaluation will be performed at baseline and every other cycle. Response will be assessed according to RECIST 1.1. The patient will continue to assume the study drug until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or any medical condition that will suggest to stop the treatment for patient's safety

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dacomitinib in people with Skin Squamous Cell Cancer, run by Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milano at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jul 2016. 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 Italy. 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?

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 rate to Dacomitinib (time frame: 24 months). 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 4 Jul 2016.
