Purpose
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with irinotecan may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving bortezomib together with irinotecan is more effective than bortezomib alone in treating head and neck cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying bortezomib and irinotecan to see how well they work compared to bortezomib alone in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.

- Response Rate on Step 1 [ Time Frame: Tumor response was assessed every 2 cycles until progression or intolerable toxicity with maximum of 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Tumor response was evaluated via Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0, and response rate was defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response or partial response among all eligible and treated patients. Complete response was defined as disappearance of all tumor lesions. Partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions.
- Response Rate on Step 2 [ Time Frame: Tumor response was assessed after every 2 cycles until progression or intolerable toxicity with maximum of 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Tumor response was evaluated via Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0, and response rate was defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response or partial response among all eligible and treated patients. Complete response was defined as disappearance of all tumor lesions. Partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions.
- Progression-free Survival on Step 1 [ Time Frame: Every 3 months for first 2 years from protocol entry, then every 6 months until 3 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Progression-free survival was defined as time from registration to step 1 to disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression was measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0, and defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions.
- Overall Survival on Step 1 [ Time Frame: Survival was assessed every 3 month within 2 years and every 6 months betwen 2 and 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Overall survival was defined as time from registration on step 1 to death from any cause. It was evaluated in all 61 eligible and treated patients.

Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the activity of bortezomib in combination with irinotecan vs bortezomib alone in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
- Determine the response rate in patients treated with single-agent bortezomib followed by irinotecan at time of disease progression.
Secondary
- Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
- Compare time to progression, overall survival, and response in patients treated with these regimens.
- Evaluate the relationship between pre-treatment nuclear localization of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB), and NF-kB-regulated gene expression in tissue (Cyclin D1, Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 1 (IAP1), B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-XL), and Topoisomerase (Topo) I), and serum (Interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, Growth-regulated oncogene-1 (GRO-1), and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) and response.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0 vs 1). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive bortezomib intravenously (IV) over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients receive bortezomib as in arm I. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Upon disease progression, patients may cross over to arm I.
Patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 3 years.
Actual Accrual: A total of 71 patients have been enrolled onto the study.
