Brief Summary:
This prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TC Regimenwith or without nimotuzumab in recurrent metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment may continue as long as participants are experiencing clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, i.e., in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Drug: Nimotuzumab Drug: Docetaxel Drug: Carboplatin Phase 2

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Nimotuzumab plus TC Regimen chemotherapy
Nimotuzumab (200 mg) plus TC Regimen chemotherapy every 3 weeks
Drug: Nimotuzumab
Nimotuzumab will be administered intravenously at a fixed dose of 200 milligrams (mg) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Drug: Docetaxel
Docetaxel 75 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin AUC 5 will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Active Comparator: TC Regimen chemotherapy
TC Regimen chemotherapy every 3 weeks
Drug: Docetaxel
Docetaxel 75 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin AUC 5 will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Compare Progression Free Survival (PFS) between Nimotuzumab + TC Regimen chemotherapy and TC Regimen chemotherapy using RECIST 1.1. [ Time Frame: approximately 24 months ]
    PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was determined based on investigator assessment using response evaluation criteria In solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Compare objective response rate between Nimotuzumab + TC Regimen and TC Regimen chemotherapy. [ Time Frame: approximately 24 months ]
    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed objective tumor response, complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined by investigator using RECIST v1.1 criteria.

  2. Compare Overall Survival (OS) between Nimotuzumab + TC Regimen chemotherapy and TC Regimen chemotherapy [ Time Frame: approximately 24 months ]
    To compare the efficacy of the combination of Nimotuzumab plus TC Regimen chemotherapy versus TC Regimen chemotherapy in terms of overall survival (OS) in patients with recurrent metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma. Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Data for participants who were not reported as dead at the time of analysis was censored at the date when they were last known to be alive.

  3. Compare Disease Control Rate (DCR) between Nimotuzumab + TC Regimen and TC Regimen chemotherapy. [ Time Frame: approximately 24 months ]
    DCR was defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response, partial response, and stable disease (CR + PR + SD).

  4. Number of Participants who Experience Treatment Related Adverse Events (AEs). [ Time Frame: approximately 24 months ]
    All Adverse Events and Serious Adverse events will be collected and collated according to grade and frequency. AEs graded using CTCAE (Version 4.0) criteria.
