ECOG 5397
Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Phase III Evaluation of Cisplatin + Placebo Versus Cisplatin + C225 a Mouse/Human Monoclonal Antibody to the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Patients with Metastatic and/or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

This protocol is closed to acrual. The rumor is that it will be positive. The question is how positive. The rumor is also that there was little toxicity.

Head and neck cancer is not a huge market of patients so even if it is positive it doen't make it a billion $ drug. Head and neck cancer is about 5% of cancer, and half are cured by radiation or surgery leaving only 2.5% with recurrent disease that need this drug to potentially supplement the chemotherapy.
