bevacizumab, cisplatin, cetuximab, radiation therapy

Patients will receive intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in once-daily fractions. A total dose of 70Gy is planned for the primary tumor site over approximately 33 treatment days. Day 1 will refer to the first day of radiation therapy. Concurrent with radiation therapy, patients will receive cisplatin (50 mg/m2 IV on Days 1, 2 and 22, 23) and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg IV on Days 1 and 22). Cetuximab will be administered according to the Bonner regimen (4),with a loading dose approximately 7 days prior to the start of radiation therapy (400 mg/m2 IV once, on approximately Day minus 7), followed by weekly cetuximab infusions (250 mg/m2 IV weekly X 7 infusions) until the completion of radiation therapy.
