TRYHARD

A Phase II, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Lapatinib (TYKERB®) for Non-HPV Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer with Concurrent Chemoradiation

Principal Investigator

Stuart J. Wong, MD

Primary Objective

To evaluate if the addition of lapatinib to concurrent cisplatin and radiation in this patient population sufficiently improves progression-free survival (PFS) to warrant a phase II trial.

Patient Population

Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven (from primary lesion and/or lymph nodes) diagnosis of Stage III or IV squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx; for patients with an oropharynx primary site, the tumor must be negative for p16 by immunohistochemistry.
