      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The randomization program is done by an online system (http://www.randomization.com) with the permuted block randomization method. The length of each block is 4 patients, which will be made up for a total of 163 patients. When the randomization is done, each patient receives a code that, by it, will be recognized in the study. The code will consist of two numbers (in accordance with the randomization number) and four letters (corresponding to the first two letters of the name and the first two letters of the last name). Randomization numbers are assigned sequentially. The random chain will be created, and the anonymous codes associated with each patient are affixed to drug labels and pre-assembled on the recruitment sites. After the patient enters the study, the prescribed code will be announced to the site and the corresponding drug will be prescribed to the patient, Blinding description: This study is a double-blind study. All treatment personnel and those involved in the study and patients are unaware of who is receiving which of the two drugs. Both study drugs have completely the same vial and packaging. The team that evaluates the study will be completely different from those involved in the treatment of the patients.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Cetuximab bio-similar of Zistdaru Danesh Co. ® (100 mg/20 ml vial) starts with intravenous infusion one week before radiotherapy at an initial dose of 400 mg/m2 in 120 minutes. Then the weekly infusion of it is continued at a dose of 250 mg/m2 in 60 minutes up to 8 weeks. Before prescribing Cetuximab, Diphenhydramine (50 mg) or another H1 antagonist is prescribed. The administration of Cetuximab is discontinued in response to the allergy reaction of grade 3 and 4. Intervention 2: Control group: Erbitux of Merck® (100 mg/20 ml vial) starts with intravenous infusion one week before radiotherapy at an initial dose of 400 mg/m2 in 120 minutes. Then the weekly infusion of it is continued at a dose of 250 mg/m2 in 60 minutes up to 8 weeks. Before prescribing Erbitux, Diphenhydramine (50 mg) or another H1 antagonist is prescribed. The administration of Erbitux is discontinued in response to the allergy reaction of grade 3 and 4.</i_freetext>
