Inclusion Criteria: Participants must meet ALL of the following criteria at the time of screening unless otherwise specified: Patient must sign study specific informed consent prior to study entry. Male or Female patient aged 18 - 75 years.

Patients with tumors of the larynx or hypopharynx are eligible only if it is anticipated that at least 1 index site in the oral cavity/oropharynx/hypopharynx mucosa (Refer section 10.13.1) will receive cumulative radiation dose of 70 Gy. Selected Stage I to III or IVA-B per AJCC, Cancer Imaging Manual, 8th edition, at study entry, including no distant metastases other than non- metastatic SCCHN, based upon the following minimum diagnostic workup: History/physical examination, including documentation of tobacco/alcohol use and current medications (including opioids/dosing), within 8 weeks prior to randomization.

Any prohibited therapy 2 weeks prior to randomization (see Section 8.4). Pregnancy, breast feeding or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception. Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Mucositis
SOM (Severe Oral Mucositis) - Comparison of incidences of Grade 3 or 4 mucositis (WHO scale) in the treatment and placebo groups. Duration of SOM (Severe Oral Mucositis). Days patients suffer Grades 3 and 4 oral mucositis measured by WHO scale from the start of treatment. Calculate Number of days from the first occurrence of WHO Grade 3 or 4 oral mucositis through the first occurrence of non-severe (≤ Grade 2) without a subsequent instance of ≥ Grade 3 oral mucositis. Subjects with complete study follow-up for SOM who do not develop severe oral mucositis (grade 0-2) will be considered to have duration of 0 days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary efficacy/outcome mucositis
Mucositis status in the patients will also be evaluated using two different published and validated mucositis scales: NCI/CTCAE/mucositis, and PROMS. Comparison of WHO scale values of treated patients at each point of evaluation. NCI/CTCAE=National Cancer Institute/Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and WHO=World Health Organization PROMS=Patient Reported oral Mucositis Symptom Scale As per WHO:Grade 0 to Grade 5 & NCI CTCAE: Grade 1 to Grade 5

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Patients expected to receive a continuous course of radiation as single daily fractions of 2.0 Gy treatment with a cumulative radiation dose of 70 Gy. The radiation can be 2DRT, 3DRT,IMRT etc. Prior to each radiation treatment the patients will receive a one-hour infusion of TK-90 or equivalent TK-90 placebo depending on randomization. 6 Hours after the completion of TK-90 infusion or TK-90 placebo dose, the patients will receive another identical TK-90 or TK-90 placebo treatment depending on randomization. This treatment cycle will continue for 7 weeks. The TK112690 dose will be 45 mg/kg.

The radiation can be 2DRT, 3DRT,IMRT etc. Prior to each radiation treatment the patients will receive a one-hour infusion of TK-90 or equivalent TK-90 placebo depending on randomization. 6 Hours after the completion of TK-90 infusion or TK-90 placebo dose, the patients will receive another identical TK-90 or TK-90 placebo treatment depending on randomization. This treatment cycle will continue for 7 weeks. The TK112690 dose will be 45 mg/kg. 24 patients will be randomized equally into 2 different groups: TK-90 treated or TK-90 placebo treated. Screening must be completed within 2 weeks. The treatment period for the study is 7 weeks. Study follow-up will be scheduled post two weeks of completion of last dose of radiation or early termination through up to 4 weeks. Blinding: The study will be partially blinded. The patient and investigator as well as site personnel will be blinded as to whether TK-90 or TK-90 placebo is administered. The CRO, sponsor, and site pharmacist will know whether the patient was administered active drug or TK-90 placebo.
