What was measured

The average patient-reported mouth and throat soreness (MTS) score as reported on question 3 of the Oral Mucositis Weekly Questionnaire for Head and Neck Cancer \[OMWQ-HN\]): "How much mouth and throat soreness did you experience in the past 24 hours?" Participants answered on a scale from 0 (no soreness) to 4 (extreme soreness). For each participant, an average patient-reported mouth and throat soreness score was calculated by dividing the sum of the MTS scores at each assessment by the total number of assessments.

Analysis population: The Patient Reported Outcome-evaluable analysis set included all randomized patients with a valid Baseline assessment for MTS question 3 of the OMWQ-HN and either: * At least 1 completed assessment each week for MTS up to withdrawal/Week 8, whichever came first, or * 70% or greater overall compliance for MTS until withdrawal/Week 8.

Groups in this outcome

Placebo

Participants received a single IV dose of placebo three days before the start of radiotherapy, and then 7 once weekly placebo doses during a 7-week radiotherapy/chemotherapy course.

Palifermin

Participants received a single intravenous dose of palifermin at 180 μg/kg three days before the start of radiotherapy, and then 7 once weekly palifermin doses at the same dose level during a 7-week radiotherapy/chemotherapy course.
