Trial Information

Neo-adjuvant Erbitux-based Chemotherapy Followed by Surgery and Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Oral/Oropharyngeal Cancer


The primary endpoint of this study is the pathological complete response after neo-adjuvant
Erbitux-based chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy. The second endpoint of this
study is the disease free survival rates (1, 2, 3, 5 years), locoregional control rates (1,
3, 5 years), overall survival rate (3, 5 years), and the safety.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 70

- Adequate hematologic function: Neutrophils ≥ 1,500/mm^3, WBC > 4,000/mm^3, Hb > 10
g/dL, platelet count > 100,000/mm^3

- Hepatic function: ALAT/ASAT < 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin <
1.5 x ULN

- Renal function: serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN

- Life expectancy ≥ 6 months

Exclusion Criteria:

- Evidence of distant metastatic disease and other oropharyngeal cancers

- Surgical procedure of the primary tumor or lymph nodes (except diagnostic biopsy)
before study treatment

permit the subject to complete or fully and completely understand the risks and
potential complications of the study
