clinicaloptions.com/oncology Treatment of Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma HNSCC: Overview 6th most common cancer worldwide [2] –650,000 cases and 200,000 deaths/yr worldwide [2] –~ 54,000 new cases/year in the US [3] ; most common cancer in central Asia 2 different etiologies and corresponding tumor types –Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption (HPV-) –Infection with high-risk HPV (HPV+); largely limited to oropharyngeal cancers HPV+ tumors are distinct entity with better prognosis and may require differential treatments Given recent genomic studies, etiology of differential biology of HPV+ and HPV- is now increasingly evident [4,5] 2.

clinicaloptions.com/oncology Treatment of Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Relationship Between HPV and EGFR Expression in HNSCC High EGFR gene copy number and protein expression associated with poor clinical outcome in advanced HNSCC [24-26] Significant proportion of HNSCC, particularly oropharyngeal cancers, caused by HPV infection [27] –High-risk HPV subtype 16 accounts for 85% of all HPV+ tumors in HNSCC [28] –p16 used as surrogate marker of HPV infection in HNSCC but is only useful in the oropharynx –More accurate HPV testing is available and based on E6/E7 detection [29] HPV+ tumors show significantly lower EGFR expression levels than HPV- HNSCC; EGFR amplification only occurs in HPV- HNSCC [30,31] 24.

Treatment Options for Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC
13
clinicaloptions.com/oncology Treatment of Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC: Cytotoxic Agents Active cytotoxic agents –Cisplatin, carboplatin, 5-FU, taxanes, methotrexate, ifosfamide, gemcitabine (for NPC), bleomycin, others –Methotrexate is FDA approved for use with HNSCC but no longer commonly used in the US First-line therapy –For patients with good PS: historically platinum-based doublet (eg, cisplatin/5-FU or carboplatin/paclitaxel) –ORR: 30% to 40%; median OS: 6-9 mos regardless of specific drugs –Cetuximab commonly added to current treatment regimens –For patients with poor PS: use single agent or cetuximab Second-line therapy: taxanes, methotrexate, cetuximab 32.

clinicaloptions.com/oncology Treatment of Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Anti-EGFR Therapy: Cetuximab Cetuximab is a chimeric IgG1 anti-EGFR antibody –May also stimulate immune system via ADCC Approved for HNSCC as a single agent, [33] with chemotherapy (EXTREME study), [34] with radiation (Bonner study) [35] Efficacy data –Despite high EGFR expression levels in HNSCC, single- agent response rate is “only” 13% with SD rate of 33% [33] –There is currently NO predictive biomarker available 33.
