Brief Summary: RATIONALE Pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth Drugs used in chemotherapy such as oxaliplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving pemetrexed together with oxaliplatin may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving pemetrexed together with oxaliplatin works in treating patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

To evaluate the clinical response rate in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated with neoadjuvant pemetrexed disodium and oxaliplatin

Secondary

To evaluate the pathological complete response in patients who undergo surgical resection or post-induction biopsy
To assess toxicity of therapy including the assessment of quality of life fatigue and head and neck cancer-related symptoms
To predict response and toxicities based on pharmacogenomics genomics and proteomics

OUTLINE This is a nonrandomized open-label study Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on resectability of disease resectable vs nonresectable

Group I resectable disease Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 4 courses If patient progresses before receiving 4 courses of treatment treatment will be discontinued and patient will proceed to surgery

After completion of pemetrexed disodium and oxaliplatin patients undergo surgical resection of disease

Group II nonresectable disease Patients receive treatment as in group I If patient progresses before receiving 4 courses of treatment treatment will be discontinued and patient will proceed to concurrent chemoradiotherapy

After completion of pemetrexed disodium and oxaliplatin patients undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Blood samples are collected at baseline and periodically during study for biomarker and pharmacokinetic studies

Quality of life is assessed prior to each course of therapy and at 4-6 weeks after the last course

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years
