Trial Information

An Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized, Phase Ib/II Study of E7050 in Combination With Cetuximab Versus Cetuximab Alone in the Treatment of Platinum-Resistant Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck


This open-label, multicenter, randomized study will consist of a Phase Ib: a safety run-in
period with 3 ascending doses of E7050 in combination with Cetuximab; and a Phase II
portion: a randomized 2-arm period. Approximately 95 patients with Platinum-Resistant
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the head and neck will be enrolled in the study (10-15 patients
in the Phase Ib portion and 80 patients in the Phase II portion). Patients will only
participate in either the Phase Ib or the Phase II portion of the study.

In the phase II portion, Patients will receive study treatment (E7050 plus Cetuximab or
Cetuximab alone) for approximately six 28-day cycles (24 weeks). Beyond 24 weeks, patients
who are experiencing clinical benefit may continue E7050 plus cetuximab, cetuximab alone or
E7050 alone (Arm 1), or may continue cetuximab alone (Arm 2), depending on the original
randomization treatment arm, for as long as clinical benefit is sustained and the treatment
is well tolerated.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Platinum-resistant (defined as failure to respond to treatment with a platinum agent
or recurrence of disease after initial response to platinum within 12 months of
completing therapy), locally advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN, which is
untreatable by surgical resection or radiation therapy;

- ECOG PS of 0-2;

- Blood pressure must be well-controlled. Patients must have no history of hypertensive
crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy; Adequate end organ function

Exclusion Criteria

- Nasopharyngeal tumors;

- Previously received E7050, anti-cmet, anti-angiogenic therapy, or anti-EGFR therapy
(prior anti-angiogenic/EGFR therapy is permitted in Phase Ib only. Prior cetuximab is
permitted if administered in combination with radiation;

- Presence of brain metastases, unless the patient has received adequate treatment at
least 4 weeks prior to randomization, and is stable, asymptomatic, and off steroids
for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization;

- Palliative radiotherapy is not permitted throughout the study period;

- Clinically significant hemoptysis;

- Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or active bone fracture;

- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28 days
prior to Day 1, or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the
course of the study;

- Clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months prior to first dose.
