NCT ID NCT00875849

First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tested a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and a targeted drug called cetuximab in 53 patients with head and neck cancer who had a high risk of the cancer coming back after surgery. The goal was to see if this triple therapy could keep the cancer from returning for at least two years. The approach aims to control the disease rather than cure it, as ongoing monitoring and potential further treatment are typically needed.
