Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): Progression Free Survival
Main Objective: The primary objective is to estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) for the combination of pemetrexed plus cisplatin plus cetuximab followed by optional pemetrexed plus cetuximab maintenance therapy.
Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are: To estimate overall survival (OS). To estimate the overall objective response rates (ORR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; Therasse et al. 2000). To examine the safety and toxicity profile of study treatment. To assess health status using patient-reported EQ-5D and physicianassessed head and neck cancer (HNC) symptoms. To assess biomarkers relevant to the safety, efficacy, and mechanism of action of pemetrexed, cetuximab, and cisplatin. To assess the association between biomarkers and clinical outcome
