Brief Summary:
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of lenalidomide when given together with cetuximab in treating patients with colorectal cancer or head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving lenalidomide together with cetuximab may be a better treatment for colorectal cancer or head and neck cancer.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximum-tolerated dose of lenalidomide when given in combination with cetuximab in patients with advanced colorectal or squamous cell head and neck cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate response in refractory V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) wild-type colorectal and head/neck cancers as monitored by measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria.

II. To measure antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity (ADCC) in patients receiving lenalidomide plus cetuximab.

III. To measure natural killer cell cytokine production in patients receiving lenalidomide plus cetuximab.

IV. To describe fragment c gamma receptor polymorphisms. (Exploratory) V. To describe baseline immune cell function. (Exploratory)

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenalidomide.

Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and cetuximab intravenously (IV) over 1-2 hours on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 6 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum-tolerated dose of lenalidomide with cetuximab, defined as the highest dose level at which 0 or 1 patients out of 6 experiences a dose limiting toxicity graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
    Toxicity will be classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns in each of the treatment arms.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Response as measured by RECIST [ Time Frame: Up to 6 weeks after completion of study treatment ]
    The statistical analysis corresponding to the evaluation of patient responses in measurable disease will be descriptive in nature. The reporting of the patient responses will include a description of all patients enrolled on study as well as evaluable patients receiving at least one cycle of combination therapy with lenalidomide. The response rate analysis will include an explanation of which patients were excluded.

  2. ADCC activity [ Time Frame: Up to week 5 ]
    A bivariate plot will be used to describe the relationship between tumor shrinkage and peak ADCC and cytokine levels over time. Results will be summarized using descriptive statistics (i.e. means, medians, standard deviations, 95% confidence intervals for continuous variables, and frequencies for discrete data).

  3. Natural killer cell activation [ Time Frame: Up to week 5 ]
    A bivariate plot will be used to describe the relationship between tumor shrinkage and peak ADCC and cytokine levels over time. Results will be summarized using descriptive statistics (i.e. means, medians, standard deviations, 95% confidence intervals for continuous variables, and frequencies for discrete data).


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Fragment c gamma receptor polymorphism status [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
  2. Immune cell activation [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
