A Dose Finding Study of Eribulin Mesylate and Cetuximab For Patients With Advanced Head and Neck and Colon Cancer With an Expansion Cohort For Head and Neck Cancer: A Brown University Oncology Research Group Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if the full dose of eribulin mesylate can be safely given with the full dose of cetuximab. The activity of the combination of eribulin mesylate and cetuximab on recurrent head and neck cancer and colon cancer will also be assessed.

Primary outcomes
- If Eribulin Mesylate, up to a Maximum Dose of 1.4 mg/m2 Day 1 and 8 of a 21 Day Cycle, Can be Safely Combined With Full Dose Cetuximab for Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Cancer and Colon Cancer. — From Day 1 of Drug through end of cycle 2 equals (approximately) 42 days
A DLT was defined as: * Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC \< 500/mm3) for \> 7 days * ANC \<1000/mm3 with fever or infection * Platelets \<25,000/mm3 * Platelets \<50,000/mm3 requiring transfusion * Grade 3 or grade 4 treatment related non-hematologic toxicities excluding alopecia. Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea will only be considered a dose limiting toxicity if it occurs despite maximal medical support. Grade 3 or grade 4 hypomagnesemia will not be considered a dose limiting toxicity since it is an expected side effect of cetuximab and can be corrected. Other grade 3 or grade 4 electrolyte abnormalities will not be considered dose limiting toxicities if the electrolyte disorder can be corrected to grade 2 or less within 72 hours. * EGFR dermatologic toxicity should be graded according to the toxicity scale for EGFR associated reactions. The first episode of grade 3 or grade 4 rash will not be considered a DLT. * If any patient receives \< 70% of the planned dose of eribulin mesylat
