Study Summary

The incorporation of novel targeted therapies to radiation therapy is of particular interest in head and neck cancer and may improve efficacy without significantly increasing toxicity. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of a second EGFR-targeted agent that inhibits EGFR at the intracellular level will improve the antitumor effect of standard radiation and cetuximab. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and the biologic effects in patients with locally advanced SCCHN of an antisense gene targeting the EGFR in combination with standard therapy with radiation and cetuximab.

Primary Outcome

This is a 2-stage clinical trial. In the first stage, toxicity will be the primary endpoint. Toxicity measures will be graded according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0. All AEs reported are grade 1 to grade 3 AEs.
