N2 - PURPOSE: To assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of HuMax-EGFr in patients with SCCHN. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight patients with SCCHN were enrolled. The study comprised a single-dose escalation part for assessment of safety issues followed by a repeat dose extension including 4 weekly infusions at the same doses. Efficacy and metabolic response were evaluated according to RECIST by CT and FDG-PET. RESULTS: Most frequently reported adverse event was rash. All but one event were CTC grade 1 or 2 and a dose-dependent relationship was indicated. Duration of skin reactions varied from few days to 2 months. No DLTs were observed and MTD was not reached. In the two highest dose groups, 7 of 11 patients obtained a PR or SD and 9 patients obtained metabolic PR or SD. CONCLUSIONS: HuMax-EGFr can be safely administered in doses up to 8 mg/kg, and preliminary data on tumour response are encouraging.
