Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving capecitabine after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: S0225: Phase II Study of Adjuvant Low-Dose Capecitabine After Salvage Surgery in Patients With Locally Recurrent or Persistent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving capecitabine after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well capecitabine works in treating patients who have undergone surgery for locally recurrent or persistenthead and neck cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine 2-year disease-free survival of patients treated with surgical salvage followed by adjuvant low-dose capecitabine for locally recurrent or persistent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck .
  • Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine 2-year overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine patterns of disease relapse in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral capecitabine once daily for 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 70 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Being tested
capecitabine, adjuvant therapy, chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine, adjuvant therapy and chemotherapy in people with Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lip and Oral Cavity and Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Paranasal Sinus and Nasal Cavity, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2013.
