Open-label, Non-randomized, Non-controlled, Multicenter Phase II Study Investigating Cetuximab in Combination With Concomitant-boost Radiotherapy as First-line Treatment for Japanese Patients With Newly Diagnosed Locally Advanced SCCHN.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Cetuximab for Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is conducted in Japanese newly diagnosed locally advanced SCCHN patients in order to assess tolerability and feasibility of Cetuximab plus concomitant boost radiotherapy (RT) regimen (the study treatment) and its safety profile (i.e. AEs: adverse events). In addition, efficacy (i.e. anti-tumor effect) of the study treatment is also evaluated.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients receive Cetuximab at an initial dose of 400 mg/m\^2 of Cetuximab to be infused 6 or 7 days before starting radiotherapy, followed by subsequent weekly infusions at a dose of 250 mg/m\^2 of Cetuximab and RT (72.0 Gy total in 42 fractions) for the next 6 weeks of the treatment course. Subjects will receive Cetuximab until radiographically documented progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity occurs or consent is withdrawn. If RT is delayed, administration of Cetuximab every 7 days is continued. If RT is discontinued for any reason, treatment with Cetuximab monotherapy every 7 days is continued.
