Trial Information
Pilot Study of the Relationship Between EF5 Uptake and Concentration of Oxygen-Related Metabolites in Head and Neck Cancer
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the distribution, degree, and intrapatient and interpatient heterogeneity of
hypoxia, as measured by EF5 binding in tumor tissue, in patients with head and neck
cancer.
- Determine the distribution and intrapatient and interpatient heterogeneity of CA9
expression, as measured immunohistochemically, in these patients.
- Determine the distribution, concentration, and intrapatient and interpatient
heterogeneity of glucose and lactate, as measured by bioluminescence imaging, in these
patients.
- Determine whether there is spatial coordination between concentrations of lactate and
glucose and the location of tissue hypoxia in these patients.
- Determine whether there is spatial coordination between the location of CA9 with
hypoxia and/or lactate concentrations in these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients receive EF5 IV over 1-2.5 hours on day 1. Within 24-55 hours after EF5
infusion, patients undergo surgery.
Tumor tissue samples are examined for EF5 binding by immunohistochemistry, bioluminescence
imaging, and flow cytometry.
Patients are followed at 1 month and then for survival.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
