Phase II Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy with or without Cisplatin for Surgically Resected Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) with TP53 Sequencing (EA3132)

General Information Age Group Adults Status Recruiting Protocol Number NCT02734537 Background Information This is a study to evaluate treatment after surgery for head and neck cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare two treatment approaches that are currently used after surgery for head and neck cancer. One approach is to administer radiation therapy alone. A second approach is to administer radiation therapy along with the chemotherapy drug, cisplatin. Cisplatin is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used with radiation therapy for the treatment of head and neck cancer. This study has public funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
