Paclitaxel, Carboplatin and Radiotherapy as Induction Therapy in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Radiotherapy, Paclitaxel, and 1 other intervention for Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 40 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study utilizes two cycles of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin chemotherapies followed by four small doses of radiation, prior to other treatment (surgery or radiation). This study is evaluating if radiation as a chemoenhancer increases the response rate of initial therapy.
