Summary

The primary objective is to estimate the Complete Response rate of docetaxel to the combination of cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (TCF) compared to cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (CF) in the Induction treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). The secondary objectives are to determine: * the safety of TCF in comparison to CF after induction treatment of NPC, * the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel when added to CF, * the Overall Response rate of TCF and CF on completion of induction and consolidation (chemo-radiotherapy) treatment of NPC, and to compare overall survival between TCF and CF.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

  • Participants with short life expectancy
  • Prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy to the nasopharynx or neck for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • Inadequate renal function evidenced by unacceptable laboratory results
