Summary

This study tested a combination of three drugs (cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and cetuximab) in 74 people with head and neck cancer that cannot be cured. The goal was to see how well the treatment controls the disease and what side effects occur. The approach is for disease management, not a cure.
