Brief Summary: This is a Phase II study of imatinib Glivec administered as a daily oral treatment in patients with recurrentmetastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck overexpressing KIT
Detailed Description: Patients with relapsing andor metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland of the head and neck are usually poor responders to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy

The investigation of proliferation pathways involving tyrosine kinase receptors such as c-kit receptor KIT and PDGF receptor may allow to identify a molecular target for novel therapeutic approaches in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma who failed locoregional treatment

Several publications in the literature and the pathological study we conducted in Institut Gustave Roussy show that KIT overexpression is observed in at least 80-90 of the cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma supporting the investigation of imatinib in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma overexpressing KIT

Imatinib is an orally administrated well tolerated compound that could be given on an outpatient schedule to patients with relapsingmetastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck

Because of the infrequent occurrence of salivary gland malignancies a multicenter trial will be mandatory and the study will include at least 2 centers represented by Institut Gustave Roussy Villejuif and Hôpital Georges-Pompidou Paris
