Study Arms:
- Arm A Amifostine (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced stage ill or IV SCCHN received;~* 4 weekly doses of carboplatin (area under the curve, 1.5) and paclitaxel (45 mg/m 2) concurrently with concomitant boost radiation consisting of 72 grays in 42 fractions over 6 weeks (every day for 18 days, twice a day for 12 days) (grading determined according to the TNM staging system).~* Subcutaneous daily amifostine at a dose of 500 mg
- Arm B No-Amifostine (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced stage ill or IV SCCHN~- 4 weekly doses of carboplatin (area under the curve, 1.5) and paclitaxel (45 mg/m 2) concurrently with concomitant boost radiation consisting of 72 grays in 42 fractions over 6 weeks (every day for 18 days, twice a day for 12 days) (grading determined according to the TNM staging system).
