What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) During the First-line Treatment Phase

    The time from the date of randomization to the date of first disease progression determined by the investigators per modified RECIST v1.0, or death within 60 days after the last evaluable tumor assessment or randomization date (whichever is later) during the first-line treatment phase.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 67 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) During the First-line Treatment Phase

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions from baseline; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. An overall response of CR or PR must be confirmed at least 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met. ORR is the percentage of subjects with an overall response among the analysis population.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 67 months

  2. Rate of Disease Control (RDC) During the First-line Treatment Phase

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions from baseline; Disease Progression (PD), >=20% increase in the SLD of target lesions from nadir; Stable Disease (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. An overall response of CR or PR must be confirmed at least 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met. A best overall response of SD requires a visit response of SD or better no earlier than 35 days after randomization. RCD is the percentage of subjects with a best overall response of CR, PR or SD among the analysis population.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 67 months

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) During the First-line Treatment Phase

    Calculated only for the subset of subjects who have an overall response of CR or PR while on first-line treatment phase (subsequently confirmed at least 4 weeks thereafter), and is defined as time from the first CR or PR to the first observed disease progression by a modified RECIST v1.0. Subjects not meeting the criteria for progression by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 67 months

  4. Time to Response (TTR) During the First-line Treatment Phase

    Time from the date of randomization to the first CR or PR during first line treatment phase (subsequently confirmed at least 4 weeks thereafter)

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 67 months

  5. Overall Survival (OS) for the First-line Treatment

    Time from the date of randomization to the date of death during the entire study

    Measured: Until death, up to 67 months

  6. Progression Free Survival (PFS) During the Second-line Treatment Phase

    The time from the first dose of panitumumab monotherapy to the date of first disease progression determined by the investigators per modified RECIST v1.0, or death within 60 days after the last evaluable tumor assessment or the second-line first dose date (whichever is later) during the second-line treatment phase.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 57 months

  7. Overall Response Rate (ORR) During the Second-line Treatment Phase

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions from baseline; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. An overall response of CR or PR must be confirmed at least 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met. ORR is the percentage of subjects with an overall response among the analysis population.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 57 months

  8. Rate of Disease Control (RDC) During the Second-line Treatment Phase

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions from baseline; Disease Progression (PD), >=20% increase in the SLD of target lesions from nadir; Stable Disease (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. An overall response of CR or PR must be confirmed at least 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met. A best overall response of SD requires a visit response of SD or better no earlier than 35 days after the first dose date in second-line treatment. RCD is the percentage of subjects with a best overall response of CR, PR or SD among the analysis population.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 57 months

  9. Duration of Response (DOR) During the Second-line Treatment Phase

    Time from the first CR or PR to the first observed disease progression by a modified RECIST v1.0. Subjects not meeting the criteria for progression by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored at their last evaluable disease assessment date.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 57 months

  10. Time to Response (TTR) During the Second-line Treatment Phase

    Time from the first dose of panitumumab monotherapy to the first CR or PR during second-line treatment phase (subsequently confirmed at least 4 weeks thereafter)

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 57 months

  11. Overall Survival (OS) for the Second-line Treatment

    Time from the first dose of panitumumab monotherapy to the date of death during the entire study

    Measured: Until death, up to 57 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cisplatin, Panitumumab and Docetaxel in people with Metastatic or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck, run by Amgen at 114 sites in 9 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 114 sites in United States, Belgium, Spain, Slovakia, Austria and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Feb 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) During the First-line Treatment Phase (time frame: Every 6 weeks until disease progression or death, up to 67 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00454779, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Oct 2018.
