Official Title: A Phase II, Randomized, Open-Label, Single Center Study In Patients With Advanced Head And Neck Cancer To Investigate Efficacy And Safety Of Standard Chemoradiation And Add-On Concurrent Cetuximab
Brief Summary:
Sixty patients with advanced squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck will be enrolled in this study. Patients are treated with standard chemoradiation in combination with concurrent add-on cetuximab. Subsequently patients are randomized to cetuximab consolidation therapy (three months, Arm A) versus no consolidation therapy (Arm B). The aim of this study is to investigate if cetuximab consolidation therapy improves the 2-year locoregional control rate.
