Pemetrexed 500 mg/m², D1 (D1=D22, 4 cycles) Cisplatin 75 mg/m², D1 (D1=D22, 4 cycles) Drug: ERBITUX The initial dose of cetuximab (ERBITUX) is 400 mg/m² intravenously administered over 120 minutes, followed by 11 weekly infusions at 250 mg/m² IV over 60 minutes Radiation: Radiotherapy 66 Gy (2 Gy by fraction, 5 fractions by week) |
- Disease-Control Rate [ Time Frame: 16 weeks after inclusion ]
percentage of patients with disease control (complete response + partial response + stable disease) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions).
- 18-month Overall Survival Rate [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Percentage of patient alive 18 months after registration
- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 52.3 months (median duration of follow-up) ]
Progression-free survival is defined as time between date of inclusion and progression or all-cause death.
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
