Study type

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Amifostine
Treatment: Drugs - Cisplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Fluorouracil
Other interventions - Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Treatment: Other - Radiation Therapy

Experimental: Stratum I (radiotherapy, chemoprotective agent) - Patients undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 8 weeks. Patients also receive amifostine subcutaneously on the same days they undergo radiotherapy.

Experimental: Stratum II (chemotherapy, chemoprotective agent, radiotherapy) - Patients receive cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-4. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses. In weeks 10-18, patients undergo radiotherapy and receive amifostine as in stratum I. Patients also receive 3 courses of cisplatin as before.
