Trial Information

Randomised Phase II Pilot Study: Induction Chemotherapy With Docetaxel, Cisplatin and Cetuximab Versus Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5 FU Followed by Radiotherapy With Cetuximab for Locally Advanced or Not Resectable Carcinoma of the Head and Neck


It will be evaluated whether 5-FU can be replaced by immunotherapy with cetuximab within a
taxane/cisplatin-containing induction-chemotherapy scheme for advanced carcinoma of the head
and neck. As 5-FU causes severe mucosal toxicities which are added to known toxicities of
cisplatin, a combination-therapy with reduced toxicities and same efficacy would be a
acceptable alternative to patients.
