Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of Serious Adverse Events

    Time frame: 90 days

    Cumulative rate of treatment - related serious adverse events (SAEs) throughout the follow up period (90 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Tumor Size (Efficacy)

    Time frame: 90 days

    change in tumor size from baseline to the end of the follow up period (90 days) according to the RECIST methodology, as determined by MRI/CT imaging

Other outcomes

  1. Overall Survival

    Time frame: 90 days

    Overall survival (OS) throughout the follow up period (90 days)

  2. Subject Quality of Life

    Time frame: 90 days

    Subject Quality of Life (QoL), as determined by the change in EORTC-QLQ30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Questionnaire - 30) total score (ranging from 30-120, the lower the result, the better quality of life the subject reports) from baseline to end of follow up period.

  3. Subject Quality of Life

    Time frame: 90 days

    EORTC-QLQ HNC43 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Head and Neck Questionnaire 43) questionnaire total score (ranging from 43-172, the lower the result the better quality of life the subject reports) from baseline to end of follow up period.
