About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Head and Neck Neoplasms focused on measuring locally advanced,, unresectable,, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma,, stage III/IV

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • histologically confirmed HNSCC of oral cavity, larynx, oropharynx or
  • hypopharynx; age of 18 years or more
  • adequate liver (SGOT, SGPT, ALP ≤ 3x normal)
  • kidneys (creatinine clearance ≥ 60ml/min
  • heart (no arrythmias, no heart failure) and
  • bone marrow (WBC ≥ 4,000/μL, granulocytes ≥ 1,500/μL, Hb ≥ 10g/dL, platelets ≥ 100,000/μL) function
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1 and

Experimental

Arm Label

Radiotherapy/Cisplatin(GroupA)

Radiotherapy/Cisplatin/Cetuximab(GroupB)

Arm Description

Radiotherapy 65-70 Gy (1.8 Gy fractionation) Chemotherapy delivered weekly (cisplatin; 40mg/m2)

Radiotherapy 65-70 Gy (1.8 Gy fractionation) Chemotherapy delivered weekly (cisplatin; 40mg/m2)concurrently with weekly cetuximab 250mg/m2 (following initial loading dose of 400mg/m2 a week before radiotherapy initiation)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Determine safety and toxicity of combination
Toxicity is graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 1 system.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall survival time
Time from first administration of trial treatment to death. Patients without event are censored at the last date known to be alive or at the clinical cut-off date, whatever is earlier.
Progression-free survival time
Duration from first administration of trial treatment until progression (radiological or clinical, if radiological progression is not available) or death due to any cause. Patients without event are censored on the date of last tumor assessment.
Response
Complete response (CR) is defined as the total disappearance of radiographic evidence of tumour. Partial response (PR) is defined as the ≥50% reduction in the product of the maximal bidimensional tumour diameters. Stable disease defined any change between +25% and -50% in tumour size, and progressive disease included any increase >25% from baseline or the appearance of any new lesion. We record tumour shrinkage and time to the development of disease progression according to the revised RECIST criteria, v.1.1.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To examine the safety and toxicity of concurrent radiotherapy with cisplatin with the further addition of cetuximab experimental treatment
Detailed Description
Conventional radiotherapy (65-70 Gy, 1.8 Gy per day) concurrently with weekly cisplatin (40mg/m2) (group A, n=25) or with weekly cisplatin (40mg/m2) and weekly cetuximab 250mg/m2, after initial dose of 400mg/m2) (group B, n=25) is applied (in a 1:1 randomization ratio). Groups will be matched age, sex, PS, and disease site.
