Cabazitaxel - PF Induction Chemotherapy

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine the first-cycle maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II (RP2D) dose of Cabazitaxel when combined with Cisplatin and Follow-Up induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck for three cycles.
