Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to give cetuximab and/or IMC-A12 before surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, in order to learn if these study drugs may cause changes in biomarkers. Biomarkers are chemical "markers" in the blood and/or tissue that may be related to a reaction to study treatment. The safety of the study treatments will also be studied.

Primary Outcome

An IHC scoring system used to quantify phospho-Akt levels based on staining intensity x extension. Staining intensity graded as undetectable (0), weak (1), medium (2), or strong (3). Staining extension graded as percentage of positive cells per high power field at x20 magnification. Final score will therefore range from 0 to 300. Modulation of phospho-Akt (difference in IHC score between the surgical specimen and the baseline biopsy) and other biomarkers compared between any two of the three tre
