- •Having received at least 2 cycles of EXTREME-type chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin + fluoropyrimidines + cetuximab) and being in maintenance phase with cetuximab because of having reached CR (Complete response), PR (Partial response) or SD (Stable disease) to said treatment
- •At least one measureable lesion by CT scan or MRI
- •Adequate bone marrow, liver and kidney function, according to:
- •Hb (Hemoglobin) ≥ 9.0 g/dl
- •Platelets 100,000/mm3
- •ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) ≥ 1,500/mm3
- •Total bilirubin ≤ 2 times the UNL
- •SGPT/ALT and SGOT/AST ≤ 3 x UNL (Upper normal limit)
- •Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x UNL
- •Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the ULN or creatinine clearance > 50 ml/min
- •Adequate nutritional status: weight loss < 20% in relationship to usual weight or albumin ≥ 35 g/l, in the last 12 w
- •Seric calcium adjusted to albumine lower or equal to 1,25 UNL.
- •Toxicity, due to previous treatment received, resolved to grade 1, before enrolment in the study
- •Women of childbearing potential should have a (-)ve pregnancy test in serum or urine,7 d before randomization. Postmenopausal women should have remained amenorrheic for at least 12 m. Furthermore, all men as well as women who participate in this study should use effective contraceptive methods beginning with the signing of the informed consent form and up to at least 6 m after the completion of the study or of the last dose, whichever occurs first
排除标准

- •Clinical or radiographic evidence of brain metastases
- •Having history of or presenting clinically significant cardiovascular disease, such as, but not limited to, congestive heart failure, ≥ grade II of the NYHA, severe cardiac arrhythmias that require medication, or ≥ grade II peripheral vascular disease. Furthermore, those patients who have suffered myocardial infarction or unstable angina in the year prior to the onset of the study treatment or a recent onset angina in the last 3 m will also be excluded
- •History of or current presence of grade >1 peripheral neuropathy

- •Known drug abuse (exception Alcoholism)
- •Any important and uncontrolled medical, psychological, psychiatric, geographic or social problem that may interfere in the participation of the subject in the study and that does not allow for adequate follow-up and compliance with the protocol and evaluation of the study results
- •Women who are pregnant or in breast-feeding period

研究组 & 干预措施
Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 may be infused, intravenously, every week.
干预措施: Paclitaxel (Drug)
Cetuximab + Paclitaxel
Cetuximab 250 mg/m2 and Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2, both may be infused intravenously, every week. Cetuximab will be administered prior to paclitaxel.
干预措施: Cetuximab + Paclitaxel (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
时间窗: Through study completion. The study was prematurely closed at 19 months due to lack of accrual. The primary endopoint was not analyzed.
The primary endpoint was to select the most effective treatment arm based on the progression-free survival (PFS) reached in each treatment arm. This was defined as the time elapsed from inclusion in the study until the date when disease progression or death (for any cause) was documented.
次要结局
- Treatment Compliance(3 years)
- Percentage of Objective Response(Through study completion. The study was prematurely closed at 19 months due to lack of accrual. Neither the primary nor the secondary endopoints were analyzed.)
- Overall Survival(Through study completion. The study was prematurely closed at 19 months due to lack of accrual. The secondary endopoint was not analyzed.)
- Participants With Adverse Events(The duration of the study (Nineteen months) and until the last patient included completed one year of follow up / died or was lost to FU. Adverse events were registered from study entry until 60 days after receiving the last dose of study drug.)
