treatment purpose

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0 or 1.
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis in previously untreated LA-SCCHN patient (stage III, IVA or IVB according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC]/TNM Staging System, 8th Edition.) suitable for definitive CRT, of at least one of the following sites: oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx.
- For OroPharyngeal Cancer (OPC) patients, primary tumors must be HPV-negative as determined by p16 expression using immunohistochemistry.
- Evaluable tumor burden (measurable and/or non-measurable tumor lesions) assessed by computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging, based on Response evaluation sriteria in solid tumors (RECIST ) version 1.1.
- Peripheral neuropathy less than or equal to (<=) grade 2.
- Adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function.
- Other protocol defined inclusion criteria may apply.

- Primary tumor of nasopharyngeal, paranasal sinuses, nasal, or oral cavity, salivary, thyroid or parathyroid gland pathologies, skin or unknown primary site.
- Metastatic disease (stage IVC as per AJCC/TNM, 8th Ed.).
- Prior definitive or adjuvant RT and/or radical surgery to the head and neck region which may jeopardize the primary tumor irradiation plan, or any other prior SCCHN systemic treatment, including investigational agents.
- Documented weight loss of >10% during the last 4 weeks prior to randomization (unless adequate measures are undertaken for nutritional support), OR plasmatic albumin < 3.0 g/dL. No albumin transfusions are allowed within 2 weeks before randomization.
- Known allergy to Debio 1143, cisplatin, carboplatin, other platinum-based agent or any excipient known to be present in any of these products or in the placebo formulation.
- other protocol defined exclusion criteria may apply.
