Limitations and caveats
A total of 69 progression-free survival (PFS) were required. As of September 13, 2020, the number of observed PFS events was 66. At the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Foundation Data Monitoring Committee meeting on October 22, 2020, a decision was made to report the final results using data through November 30, 2020. This decision has a minor impact (\<1%) on the power given that 67 PFS events are included in the final analysis of this trial.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants Alive Without Progression (Progression-free Survival)From randomization to last follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 7.1 years.
An event for progression-free survival is local, regional, or distant disease progression or death due to any cause. Progression-free survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of progression/death or last known follow-up (censored). Rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The protocol specifies that the distributions of survival times be compared between the arms, which is reported in the statistical analysis results. Five-year rates are provided. Analysis occurred after 67 progressions or deaths were reported.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Alive (Overall Survival)From randomization to last follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 7.1 years.
An event for overall survival is death due to any cause. Overall survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of death or last known follow-up (censored). Rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The protocol specifies that the distributions of survival times be compared between the arms, which is reported in the statistical analysis results. Five-year rates are provided.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Distant MetastasesFrom randomization to last follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 7.1 years.
Failure for distant metastasis endpoint was defined as distant progression; local-regional failure and death due to any cause were considered competing risks. Distant metastasis time is defined as time from randomization to the date of progression/death or last known follow-up (censored). Rates are estimated by the cumulative incidence method. The protocol specifies that the distributions of failure times be compared between the arms, which is reported in the statistical analysis results. Five-year rates are provided.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Treatment-related Grade 3 or Higher Adverse EventsFrom start of treatment to last follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 7.1 years.
Adverse events (AE) were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE. The CTCAE v4.0 assigns Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild, Grade 2 Moderate, Grade 3 Severe, Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5 Death related to adverse event. "Treatment-related" is defined definitely, probably, or possibly related to treatment.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Complied With Protocol TreatmentFrom start of treatment to end of treatment (approximately 5 months from randomization).
Compliance with protocol treatment is defined as "per protocol" or "acceptable variation" per study chair review for IMRT, cisplatin, pre-IMRT lapatinib/placebo, concurrent lapatinib/placebo, and maintenance lapatinib/placebo. Rates of treatment compliance were compared between groups by a 2-sided Fisher's exact test.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Local-regional ProgressionFrom randomization to last follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 7.1 years.
Failure for local-regional control endpoint was defined as local or regional progression, salvage surgery of the primary tumor with tumor present/unknown, salvage neck dissection with tumor present/unknown \> 20 weeks after the end of radiation therapy, death due to study cancer without documented progression, or death due to unknown causes without documented progression; distant metastasis and death due to other causes were considered competing risks. Local-regional failure time is defined as time from randomization to the date of progression/death or last known follow-up (censored). Failure rates are estimated by the cumulative incidence method. The protocol specifies that the distributions of failure times be compared between the arms, which is reported in the statistical analysis results. Five-year rates are provided.
