Groups2

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

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Arm A: Irinotecan/Docetaxel
Docetaxel was administered intravenously over 60 minutes at a dose of 35 mg/m². Docetaxel was diluted in 100-150 ml of infusion solution. After the completion of the docetaxel infusion, irinotecan was administered intravenously over 30 minutes at a dose of 50 mg/m².~Chemotherapy was administered once a week (days 1, 8, 15, 22) for 4 consecutive weeks followed by 2 weeks rest. This constituted a cycle of treatment. Patients were evaluated after 2 cycles.
3546EG000
Group 2Arm B: Irinotecan/Docetaxel/Cetuximab
Patients received Cetuximab intravenously once a week for 6 weeks. On day 1 of cycle 1 only, an initial dose of 400 mg/m² (over 120 minutes) was administered. Thereafter, a once-a-week maintenance dose of 250 mg/m² (infused over 60 minutes), was given. The infusion rate never exceeded 5 ml/minute.~On the day of the initial dose, the administration of Cetuximab was followed by the administration of docetaxel, after a 60-minute observation period. (The observation period was 30 minutes following maintenance doses.) Docetaxel was administered intravenously over 60 minutes at a dose of 35 mg/m². Docetaxel was diluted in 100-150 ml of infusion solution. After the completion of the docetaxel infusion, irinotecan was administered intravenously over 30 minutes at a dose of 50 mg/m².~Chemotherapy was administered once a week (days 1, 8, 15, 22) for 4 consecutive weeks followed by 2 weeks rest. Cetuximab was administered once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. A cycle of treatment was 6 weeks.
