Scientists test drug duo in battle against tough head and neck cancers
NCT ID NCT00939627
Summary
This study tested whether combining two cancer drugs, cetuximab and sorafenib, works better than using cetuximab alone for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. Fifty-five participants were randomly assigned to receive either the combination or the single drug. The main goal was to see which treatment kept the cancer from growing for a longer time.
