Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized

Type of disease: locoregional recurrence alone or metastatic evolution with or without locoregional recurrence or Induction chemotherapy in locoregionally advanced HNSCC 2. Treatment with Carboplatin or Cisplatin A block random sequence is formed in each layer. Randomization sheet will be built with blocks of 2 and 4 for a total of 216 patients by www.sealedenvelope.com platform. When randomization is done, each patient receive a code. The code will consist of three digits (corresponding to 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 determined sequentially. The randomization list is prepared by the CRO and maintained by a member of the executive team outside the study.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
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 size and packaging. The team that evaluates the outcomes of study will be completely different from those involved in the treatment of the patients. The randomization schedule will be confidential and with limited access at the randomization study implementation center, a copy will be kept at the CRO. Except for the cases specified in the protocol and only in those cases where the safety of the patient is dependent on the knowledge of the individual's study group, the assignment of people to the groups will not be announced until the analysis is done.
