Study Summary

This clinical trial is for participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who are scheduled to have their tumor surgically removed. The study involves obtaining baseline tissue from a clinical biopsy or research biopsy and measurement of circulating tumor cells before surgery to determine whether AXL protein expression pre-treatment correlates to clinical outcomes (change in tumor size) after two doses of cetuximab. The importance of this study is to describe if AXL expression can be used as a biomarker to predict clinical response to cetuximab (CTX) treatment.

Primary Outcome

The tumor size (via clinical measurements) will be measured from the time of diagnosis (pre-CTX) to after treatment with 2 doses of cetuximab and within 48 hours prior to surgery (post-CTX). Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 Committee criteria will be used to define clinical response (partial response, progressive disease, or stable disease) prior to surgery.
