A Phase II Study Evaluating Panitumumab-IRDye800 vs. Sentinel Node Biopsy and (Selective) Neck Dissection for Metastatic Lymph Node Identification in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

This phase II trial studies how well panitumumab-IRDye800 works in identifying head and neck
cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients with head and neck cancer.
Panitumumab-IRDye800 may help surgeons to identify metastatic lymph nodes during surgical
removal of the primary tumor and/or lymph nodes of the neck with equal or better accuracy
than the current methods.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if near-infrared fluorescence imaging of panitumumab-IRDye800 can identify
metastatic disease in regional neck lymph nodes of patients with head and neck squamous cell
carcinoma (HNSCC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine if panitumumab-IRDye800 can identify sentinel nodes with the same accuracy as
technetium Tc 99m-labeled tilmanocept (Lymphoseek).

OUTLINE:

Beginning 2-5 days before surgery, patients receive panitumumab IRDye800 intravenously (IV)
over 60 minutes. On the day before surgery, patients also receive technetium Tc 99m-labeled
tilmanocept via injection and undergo lymphoscintigraphy and single photon emission computed
tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT).

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Biopsy confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

- Patients diagnosed with any T stage, any subsite within the head and neck that are
scheduled to undergo surgical resection, including a (modified) neck dissection

- Patients with recurrent disease or a new primary will be allowed

- Planned standard of care surgery with curative intent for squamous cell carcinoma

- Tumor is accessible for local injection of the sentinel node tracer (for example oral
cavity disease)

- Karnofsky performance status of at least 70% or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
(ECOG)/Zubrod level 1

- Hemoglobin >= 9 gm/dL

- White blood cell count > 3000/mm^3

- Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3

- Serum creatinine =< 1.5 times upper reference range

Exclusion Criteria:

- Received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to first dose of panitumumab
IRDye800

- Myocardial infarction (MI); cerebrovascular accident (CVA); uncontrolled congestive
heart failure (CHF); significant liver disease; or unstable angina within 6 months
prior to enrollment

- History of infusion reactions monoclonal antibody therapies

- Pregnant or breastfeeding

- Magnesium or potassium lower than the normal institutional values

- Patients receiving class IA (quinidine, procainamide) or class III (dofetilide,
amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents

- Patients with a history or evidence of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis

- Hypersensitivity to dextran and/or modified form thereof
