New drug combination could prevent head and neck cancer in high-risk patients

Date:2/19/2013

nitiation. Biopsies at baseline and follow-up were available for seven patients.

Pathologic examination of the biopsies indicated that three of the seven patients had a complete pathologic response; that is, there was no longer evidence of the precancerous lesions in the follow-up biopsy sample. Among the other patients, two had a partial pathologic response and two had progressive disease.

"Finding that this drug combination caused some advanced premalignant lesions to completely disappear was great news," said Shin. "Advanced premalignant lesions rarely regress, so our data are proof-of-principle that a combination chemopreventive strategy with molecularly targeted agents is possible."

Several patients dropped out of the trial because of severe adverse side effects, according to Shin. "Prevention is not achieved through short-term treatment," he said. "So, we need to investigate the safety and toxicity of this combination further before planning a large-scale trial. We are also looking to combination therapies using less toxic or nontoxic agents, such as natural compounds."
