Study Summary

Primary objective: To determine the Phase II doses and to evaluate the safety of administering bexarotene (Targretin®) daily in combination with oral erlotinib (Tarceva™) to patients with advanced aerodigestive tract cancers. Secondary objectives: To evaluate the response rates, progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced aerodigestive tract cancers treated with bexarotene (Targretin®) in combination with erlotinib (Tarceva™). To investigate the activity of this targeted combination therapy by evaluating changes in molecular markers from pre- and post-treatment buccal swab samples.

Primary Outcome

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of daily oral administration of bexarotene in combination with erlotinib at three dose levels to patients with advanced aerodigestive tract cancer. At least 3 patients will be entered onto each dose level. Dose limiting toxicity is defined as grade 3 or greater non-hematologic toxicity or grade 4 hematologic toxicity. The recommended Phase II dose is defined as the highest dose level of bexarotene oral capsules in combination with oral erlotini
