Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR) — 1; 0 participants — p=1.0000
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.
