Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether participants with platinum-resistant squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) who receive either E7050 administered with cetuximab or cetuximab alone experience greater benefit.
Detailed Description:
This open-label, multicenter, randomized study will consist of a Phase 1b: a safety run-in period with 3 ascending doses of E7050 in combination with cetuximab; and a Phase 2 portion: a randomized 2-arm period. Approximately 95 participants with platinum-resistant squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck will be enrolled in the study (10-15 participants in the Phase 1b portion and 80 participants in the Phase 2 portion). Participants will only participate in either the Phase 1b or the Phase 2 portion of the study.
In the Phase 2 portion, participants will receive study treatment (E7050 plus cetuximab or cetuximab alone) for approximately six 28-day cycles (24 weeks). Beyond 24 weeks, participants who are experiencing clinical benefit may continue E7050 plus cetuximab, cetuximab alone or E7050 alone (Arm 1), or may continue cetuximab alone (Arm 2), depending on the original randomization treatment arm, for as long as clinical benefit is sustained and the treatment is well tolerated.
