Study Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cetuximab and cisplatin together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab and cisplatin together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with recurrent head and neck cancer.

Primary Outcome

The 2-year PFS was measured from the date of enrollment to the first occurrence of new metastatic lesions, objective tumor progression, or death. The combination of cisplatin and cetuximab concurrent with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer has shown to have a favorable PFS. Patients were followed until death or from 7.5 months to 63.6 months (median 25.6 months) in those alive at last evaluation.
