Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival
A patient's overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 41 months. Overall survival was censored if the patient was lost to follow-up or refused to continue in the trial.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Objective Tumor Response
Objective tumor response assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v 1.0) J Natl Cancer Inst 2000;92:205-16 assessed by CT/MRI. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR), CR+PR
Duration of Response
Duration of response defined as the time from the first date where measurement criteria for complete or partial response (whichever status is recorded first) are met until the first date that death, recurrence or progressive disease is objectively documented.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS (defined as the time from randomization until disease progression or death). The progression events were defined by well-documented and verifiable imaging data. In case of censoring, the date of censoring had to be the last time point documenting the status of the patient.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if zalutumumab in combination with Best Supportive Care (BSC) is superior to BSC in non-curable patients with head and neck cancer
Detailed Description
This is an open parallel group trial. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 manner to receive either treatment with zalutumumab in combination with Best Supportive Care (BSC) or BSC. Patients randomized to treatment with zalutumumab in combination with BSC will receive weekly infusions with zalutumumab starting with a loading dose (8mg/kg) followed by weekly maintenance doses until disease progression, intercurrent illness preventing further administration, unacceptable toxicity or patient decision. After Visit 2 the patient should be evaluated for presence of skin rash prior to each infusion to allow dose titration. Individual dose titration until the patient develops grade 2 skin rash will be applied. The maximum dose used in study will be 16 mg/kg.
