PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0-2 years

Population: All eligible patients who started treatment were included in the analysis.

Measured from time of registration to date of death due to any cause, or last contact date

Measure
Cetuximab+Cisplatin+Irinotecan Followed by Radiation Therapy
n=21 Participants
Patients received four 21-day cycles of cetuximab 400 mg/m\^2 (day 1, cycle 1), cetuximab 250 mg/m\^2 (day 8, 15, cycle 1, then days 1, 8 and 15 for subsequent cycles), cisplatin 30 mg/m\^2 (days 1 and 8, all cycles), and irinotecan 65 mg/m\^2 (days 1 and 8, all cycles). Thoracic Radiotherapy (TRT) was administered at 1.8 Gy in 28 daily fractions to a total dose of 50.4 Gy, beginning on day 1 of cycle 3.
Overall Survival at 2 Years
33.3 percentage of participants
Interval 14.6 to 57.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Patients were assessed for adverse events after every two cycles of chemotherapy.

Population: Eligible patients who had received any treatment were included in the adverse event summaries. Any CTCAE 3.0 event of Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (life threatening) or Grade 5 (fatal) which were deemed to be related to protocol treatment are included.

Adverse Events (AEs) are reported by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0. For each patient, worst grade of each event type is reported. Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, Grade 5 = Fatal.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at week 16, then every 3 months until progression

Population: All eligible patients who started treatment and were evaluable for response were included in assessing response estimates.

Complete response (CR) is complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease. No new lesions. No disease related symptoms. Normalization of markers and other abnormal lab values. Partial response (PR) applies only to patients with at least one measurable lesion. Greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target measurable lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease. No new lesions. Confirmation of CR or PR means a repeat scan at least 4 weeks apart documented before progression or symptomatic deterioration.
