The reduction in the amount or fractions (doses) of EBRT can potentially diminish the (number and severity of) adverse events associated with EBRT.
Patients with head and neck cancer typically receive approximately 60-70 Grays (Gy) of EBRT given as 2 – 3 Gy daily doses over a six-week timeframe.
Part B of the study will further assess the safety and potential benefits of iopofosine in combination with EBRT in a cohort of up to 24 patients.
