Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: <Docetaxel and Trastuzumab> Histologically confirmed salivary gland cancer whose tumors overexpressed HER2 were eligible for the study. HER2 status was confirmed by IHC and by FISH. Patients with tumors graded with an IHC score of 3+, or an IHC 2+ and FISH-positive for HER2 were enrolled. Other eligibility criteria were: ECOG performance status of 0 to 2; measurable disease (a tumor more than 10 mm in one dimension); a life expectancy of at least 3 months; at least 2 weeks after any chemotherapy; hemoglobin greater than 9 g/dL; a white blood cell count between 4,000/mm3 and 12,000/mm3; a neutrophil count greater than 2,000/mm3; a platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3; a serum bilirubin less than 1.5mg/dL; aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase less than 1.5 times the upper normal limit or alkaline phosphatase less than 2.5 times the upper normal limit; and serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper normal limit. Written informed consent. <MAB> Cases in which indication or effect for Docetaxel and Trastuzumab therapy was not observed. Histologically confirmed salivary gland cancer whose tumors expressed androgen receptor were eligible for the study. AR status was IHC. Other eligibility criteria were: ECOG performance status of 0 to 2; measurable disease (a tumor more than 10 mm in one dimension); a life expectancy of at least 3 months; at least 2 weeks after any chemotherapy; hemoglobin greater than 9 g/dL; a white blood cell count between 4,000/mm3 and 12,000/mm3; a neutrophil count greater than 2,000/mm3; a platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3; a serum bilirubin within the normal range; aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase less than 100 IU/L; and serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper normal limit. Written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: <Docetaxel and Trastuzumab> Prior docetaxel or trastuzumab treatment was not allowed. The cumulative dose of anthracycline derivatives would not exceed 360 mg/m2 (converted into the dose of doxorubicin). Other exclusion criteria included , uncontrolled concomitant disease, active concomitant malignancy, a history of myocardial infarction or clinically important cardiovascular disease, a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50% or below the upper limit of normal, New York Heart Association functional classification II to IV, suspected infection with fever, motor paralysis or peripheral neuropathy; pleural or pericardial effusion that required treatment, symptomatic brain metastasis, edema of grade 2 or higher, interstitial pneumonia or lung fibrosis, or allergy to polysorbate 80, pregnant women or women who might be pregnant. <MAB> Prior Bicalutamide or leuprorelin acetate treatment was not allowed. Other exclusion criteria included , uncontrolled concomitant disease, active concomitant malignancy, suspected infection with fever, motor paralysis or peripheral neuropathy; pleural or pericardial effusion that required treatment, edema of grade 2 or higher, interstitial pneumonia or lung fibrosis, pregnant women or women who might be pregnant or Physician judged improper to entry this trial.
