Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
755 participants were enrolled and 676 were randomized into the study. 79 participants were not randomized (6 deaths; 1 lost to follow up; 1 poor/non-compliance; 49 no longer met study criteria; 17 participant request; 2 required concurrent radiation; 1 insurance issue; 1 doctor discretion; 1 unknown).

Reporting Groups
  Description
Cetuximab+Taxane+Carboplatin (C/T/C) Cetuximab was administered at an initial dose (Week 1) of 400 mg/m^2 IV infusion (infused over 120 minutes) and a weekly maintenance dose of 250 mg/m^2 IV infusion (infused over 60 minutes). A cycle of therapy was defined as 3 weeks. Taxane was paclitaxel 225 mg/m^2 infused over 180 minutes on Day 1 and subsequently every 3 weeks or docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 infused over 60 minutes on Day 1 and subsequently every 3 weeks. Carboplatin was infused over 30 minutes on Day 1 and subsequently every 3 weeks.
Taxane+Carboplatin (T/C) A cycle of therapy was defined as 3 weeks. Taxane was paclitaxel 225 mg/m^2 infused over 180 minutes on Day 1 and subsequently every 3 weeks or docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 infused over 60 minutes on Day 1 and subsequently every 3 weeks. Carboplatin was infused over 30 minutes on Day 1 and subsequently every 3 weeks.

[2] The ECOG PS is used to assess disease severity. A score of 0 is fully active; 1 is restricted physically strenuous activity; 2 is ambulatory but unable to work; 3 is capable of only limited self care; 4 is completely disabled; 5 is dead. Missing includes participants whose pre-treatment PS > 14 days prior to first dose.
