Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer. It may also help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at proteins in blood samples to predict treatment benefit in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To identify head and neck squamous cell cancer patients who will benefit from treatment with the EGFR inhibitors (i.e., erlotinib hydrochloride, gefitinib, and cetuximab) and VEGF inhibitor (i.e., bevacizumab), based on predictive proteomic profiles in patient blood samples.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Blood samples are analyzed for proteomic profile to determine good and bad prognoses in patients treated with or without EGFR inhibitors and/or a VEGF inhibitor.
