Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This two-arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of erlotinib (Tarceva) versus placebo in participants with resected head and neck squamous cell cancer who are receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone. Participants will be randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 milligrams (mg) orally (PO) once daily or placebo for 1 year until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
