Summary

This study tests two different treatments for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive the standard drug cisplatin. One group gets a targeted therapy called cetuximab plus radiation, while the other gets a different chemotherapy combination (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus radiation. The goal is to see which approach works better at stopping the cancer from growing. About 454 adults with certain types of head and neck cancer will take part.
