Summary
This study tested whether adding the targeted drug Tarceva to two standard chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin and docetaxel) could shrink tumors in people with head and neck cancer that had spread or come back. 50 participants received the combination. The main goal was to see how many patients had their tumors shrink or disappear. This is not a cure, but aims to control the disease.
