Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of palbociclib with cetuximab is superior to cetuximab in prolonging overall survival in HPV-negative, cetuximab-naive patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Primary Outcome

OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. OS (in months) was calculated as (date of death - randomization date +1)/30.4. For participants lacking survival data beyond the date of their last follow-up, the OS time was censored on the last date they were known to be alive. Participants lacking survival data beyond randomization had their OS times be censored at randomization. Estimates of OS and its 95% confidence interval were determined usin
