Summary

This study tests whether adding the targeted drug nimotuzumab to standard radiation therapy helps control advanced head and neck cancer better than radiation alone. It is for 335 adults whose cancer has spread locally but who cannot take platinum-based chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the combination keeps the cancer from growing or coming back for longer.
