Study Summary

Primary Objective: * To determine the efficacy of the combination of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer by serial measurements of tumor response (extent, frequency, duration). Secondary Objectives: * To assess the safety and tolerability of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. * To explore the biologic effects of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel on tumor tissue by immunohistochemical analysis of microvessel density and phosphorylation of Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGF-R). * To explore the effects of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel on surrogate markers in serum. * To assess the rate of survival.

Primary Outcome

Response rate to regimen defined as the number of complete or partial response divided by the total number of participants treated. Tumor response defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST). All complete and partial responses confirmed by a second assessment six weeks later.

Interventions

  • DRUG Docetaxel
