Groups2

Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

Group 1Arm A (Paclitaxel + Carboplatin + Radiation )Active comparator. Induction dosing: Paclitaxel, 225 mg/m²; Carboplatin, AUC=6.0. Concurrent dosing: Paclitaxel, 45 mg/m2; Carboplatin: AUC=2.222289EG000
Group 2Arm B (Paclitaxel + Carboplatin + Radiation + Thalidomide)
Experimental arm. Thalidomide: daily, patients begin with 200 mg thalidomide PO as a single dose at bedtime. The dose is then increased by 100 mg every week as tolerated up to a total dose of 1000 mg; low dose aspirin: 81mg PO daily.~Paclitaxel, carboplatin and radiation same as active comparator.
