Abstract
Clinical benefit and overall survival from the dasatinib-cetuximab combination were improved among patients with low serum IL6. Preclinical studies support IL6 as a modifier of dasatinib-cetuximab response. In the setting of clinical cetuximab resistance, serum IL6 is a candidate predictive marker specific for combined dasatinib-cetuximab. The trial was modified and redesigned as a biomarker-enriched Phase II study enrolling patients with undetectable IL6.
