Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Cetuximab and Cisplatin (D)EXPERIMENTALCycle 1 (1 week, combination therapy): 400 milligrams per square meter (mg/m²) cetuximab administered (admin) intravenously (I.V) on week 1, day 1. 100 mg/m² cisplatin administered I.V on week 1, day 1. Optional 5- fluorouracil (FU) administered as a 96-hour continuous infusion (C.I.) of 1000 mg/m²/day (d) administered starting on week 1, day 1. After 1 cycle, participants may continue treatment as determined by the physician until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met. After protocol amendment February 2014, any newly enrolled participants will be placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (D) arm only.
Cetuximab and Cisplatin (C)EXPERIMENTALCycle 1 (4 weeks, combination therapy): 100 mg/m² Cisplatin admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 5- FU admin as a 96-hour C.I. of 1000 mg/m²/d admin starting on week 1, day 1. 400 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 2, day 1. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 3 and 4, day 1. Cycle 2-6 (3 weeks combination therapy): 100 mg/m² cisplatin admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 5- FU admin as a 96-hour C.I. of 1000 mg/m²/d admin starting on week 1, day 1. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 1, 2, and 3, day 1. After 6 cycles, participants may then receive weekly cetuximab monotherapy until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met. Due to protocol amendment in September 2011, any newly enrolled participants were placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (C) arm only. After protocol amendment February 2014, any newly enrolled participants will be placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (D) arm only.
Cetuximab on Cisplatin (B)EXPERIMENTALCycle 1: 400 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 2 and 3, day 1. Cycle 2: 100 mg/m² cisplatin admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 5- FU admin as a 96-hour C.I. of 1000 mg/m²/d admin starting on week 1, day 1- 4. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 1-3, day 1. Cycle 3 + : 100 mg/m² cisplatin admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 5- FU admin as a 96-hour C.I. of 1000 mg/m²/d admin starting on week 1, day 1-4. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 1-3, day 1. After 6 cycles, participants may then receive weekly cetuximab monotherapy until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met. Due to protocol amendment in September 2011, any newly enrolled participants were placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (C) arm only. After protocol amendment February 2014, any newly enrolled participants will be placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (D) arm only.
Cisplatin on Cetuximab (A)EXPERIMENTALCycle 1: 100 mg/m² cisplatin admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 5- FU admin as a 96-hour C.I. of 1000 mg/m²/d admin starting on week 1, day 1-4. 400 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 2, day 1. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on week 3, day 1. Cycle 2 +: 100 mg/m² cisplatin admin I.V on week 1, day 1. 5- FU admin as a 96-hour C.I. of 1000 mg/m²/d admin starting on week 1, day 1-4. 250 mg/m² cetuximab admin I.V on weeks 1-3, day 1. After 7 cycles, participants may then receive weekly Cetuximab monotherapy until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met. Due to protocol amendment in September 2011, any newly enrolled participants were placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (C) arm only. After protocol amendment February 2014, any newly enrolled participants will be placed into cetuximab and cisplatin (D) arm only.
