Abstract
Background: Patients with early-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have an increased risk for secondary primary tumors (SPT) after definitive treatment. The aim of this pilot trial was to investigate the safety and efficacy of erlotinib and celecoxib in preventing SPTs.
Methods: Ten patients with stage I/II HNSCC who completed definitive treatment received erlotinib with celecoxib for 6 months. Primary objectives were safety assessment and SPT-free survival after completion of erlotinib and celecoxib. Secondary objectives included assessing overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
Results: With a median follow-up of 9 (1.7-15.3) years, the median time to SPT-free survival was not reached. The estimated SPT-free survival was 78.8% at 15 years. Two patients had local recurrence, but none of our subjects developed mucosal squamous cell carcinoma at any site.
Conclusion: All three doses of erlotinib and the fixed dose of celecoxib were well tolerated with excellent SPT-free survival with long-term follow-up.
