Arm/Group Description | Participants were administered an initial dose of cetuximab 400 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) intravenous (IV) infusion over 120 minutes followed by subsequent weekly doses of 250 mg/m^2 IV infusion over 60 minutes along with background chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin 100 mg/m^2 IV infusion over 60 to 120 minutes on day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 1000 mg/m^2 per day as a continuous IV infusion over 24 hours from day 1 to day 4 of each 3-week treatment cycle, for up to 6 cycles in the absence of progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. If participant developed non-hematological toxicities to cisplatin, carboplatin (area under curve 5 [AUC5]) was administered as IV infusion over 60 to 120 minutes on Day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle. |
