Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Primary objective: to assess the antitumor activity and safety profile of cetuximab when given in combination with radiotherapy (RT) for the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in Chinese subjects. Secondary objective: to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and immunogenicity of cetuximab in Chinese subjects. Further objective: to identify for cetuximab potential predictive biomarkers of response and safety.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Best Overall Response (BOR)
- timeFrame
- Baseline until the date of first documented progression or discontinuation from the study due to any cause, assessed every 3 months following the 8 weeks after the end of RT visit until the end of trial (EOT) visit
- description
- Best overall (objective) response was defined as the occurrence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the investigator's assessment according to modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria confirmed at a repeat assessment performed no less than 28 days after the criteria for response were first met. CR was defined as disappearance of all index lesions. PR was defined as a 50% or more decrease in the sum of the products of diameters (SOPD) of index lesions compared to the baseline SOPD, with no evidence of PD.
