Study Summary

The primary hypothesis of this study is that the addition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) blockade to conventional epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) blockade will result in synergistic clinical activity in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN), consistent with preclinical xenograft data. Patients will be treated with the combination of temsirolimus and erlotinib, at the previously established Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD). The primary signal of efficacy will be progression free survival (PFS), anticipating that PFS will be prolonged compared to historical PFS in SCCHN patients treated with erlotinib or cetuximab monotherapy.

Primary Outcome

The time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death by any cause. Progression is evaluated according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.0). Target lesions are assessed by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Progressive Disease (PD), 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesion, the appearance of new lesions, death due to disease wit
