Eligibility
Participant inclusion criteria
1. The patient must have histologically confirmed SCCHN
2. The patient must have immunohistochemically confirmed Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (Ep-CAM)positive SCCHN
3. The patient must have received therapy for their primary disease (i.e., SCCHN) consisting of radiotherapy with or without surgery and with or without chemotherapy

5. The patient must have fully recovered or reached a stable state of symptomatology from any previous treatment-related toxicity
6. The patient must have at least one accessible target tumor without direct carotid artery involvement (ie, a distance of less than 5 mm between a tumor and carotid) and must be likely to retain study drug
