Trial Information

Molecular Signatures of HNSCC in Response to Targeted Therapies


OBJECTIVES:

- To identify 100 patients from the Head and Neck Tumor Tissue Repository and Clinical
Database treated with cetuximab monotherapy or cetuximab-containing combination therapy
as a standard of care for recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell
carcinoma at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

- To assay the diversity of gene and protein expression patterns seen in these patients.

- To identify predictive patterns associated with treatment response and survival of
these patients by correlating the laboratory data with clinical data.

OUTLINE: Tumor tissue specimens and clinical data are obtained from the Head and Neck Tumor
Tissue Repository and Clinical Database protocol VU-VICC-HN-0356. Specimens are analyzed for
patterns of gene and protein expression predictive of cetuximab treatment response and
survival by DNA microarray, tissue microarray, reverse transcriptase-PCR, and mass
spectroscopy.
