What was measured

Acute adverse events (AE) are defined as occurring within 180 days from the end of treatment. "Treatment-related" means reported as definitely, probably, or possibly related to protocol treatment. 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 AE

Analysis population: All eligible patients who started study treatment

Groups in this outcome

IMRT + Cisplatin

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent cisplatin Cisplatin: 100 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 22 of IMRT IMRT: 35 fractions over 6 weeks, 6 fractions per week, 2 Gray per fraction to total dose of 70 Gy.

IMRT + Cetuximab

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent cetuximab Cetuximab: 400 mg/m2 IV 5-7 days before IMRT then 250 mg/m2 IV weekly for 7 weeks IMRT: 35 fractions over 6 weeks, 6 fractions per week, 2 Gray per fraction to total dose of 70 Gy.
