About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy Plus Panitumumab Compared to Chemoradiotherapy With Unresected, Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

The purpose of this study is to estimate, with pre-specified precision, the difference in local-regional control (LRC) rate at 2 years in subjects receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or panitumumab plus radiotherapy (PRT) as first line treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma for the head and neck (SCCHN). A formal hypothesis will not be tested in this trial; however, the treatment arm difference in LRC rates at 2 years will be estimated.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective: To estimate, with pre-specified precision, the difference in local-regional control (LRC) rate at 2 years in subjects receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or panitumumab plus radiotherapy (PRT) as first line treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma for the head and neck (SCCHN).

Secondary Objectives: To estimate the difference between 2 treatment regimens (CRT vs PRT) on other measures of clinical benefit, including LRC, overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS); and safety.

Tertiary Objectives: To estimate the difference in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and performance status in subjects receiving PRT or CRT.

Exploratory Objectives: To investigate potential biomarker development based on assessment of blood and tumor and the proposed mechanism of actions of study drugs. In addition, to investigate the effect of genetic variation in cancer genes and drug target genes on SCCHN and subject response to study drugs (separate informed consent required).

Hypothesis: A formal hypothesis will not be tested in this trial; however, the treatment arm difference in LRC rates at 2 years will be estimated.

Study Design: This is a phase 2, open-label, randomized, multicenter study. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:3 ratio to either of the following regimens:

Arm 1 CRT:

  • Accelerated fractionation RT: 70 to 72 Gy - delivered over 6 to 6.5 weeks
  • Cisplatin: 100 mg/m2 (given on days 1 and 22 of RT) or

Arm 2 PRT:

  • Accelerated fractionation RT: 70 to 72 Gy - delivered over 6 to 6.5 weeks
  • Panitumumab: 9.0 mg/kg Q3W (given on days 1, 22, and 43 of RT)

What is being measured

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

  1. Local Regional Control Rate at 2 Years

    Kaplan-Meier estimate of Local regional control rate at 2 years. Local regional control rate will be measured according to the investigator's assessment of disease status based on all available data (ie, from clinical examination, radiologic assessments, pathology reports, and autopsy reports).

    Measured: from study day 1 to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Duration of Local Regional Control

    Time from study day 1 to the date of first local-regional failure or to death due to any cause (whichever occurs first)

    Measured: maximum follow up time 46.2 months

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Time from first dose date till disease progression or death

    Measured: maximum follow up time 46.2 months

  3. Overall Survival

    Time from first dose date to death

    Measured: maximum follow up time 46.2 months

  4. ORR by 6 Months - Central

    ORR is Objective Response Rate. Tumor assessments are based on central review of scans uisng a modification of the WHO criteria. Complete or partial response is considered as objective response.

    Measured: From randomization to 6 months

  5. CRR by 6 Months - Central

    CRR is Complete Response Rate. Tumor assessments are based on central review of scans uisng a modification of the WHO criteria. Complete Response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all index lesions.

    Measured: From randomization till 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panitumumab and Cisplatin in people with Cancer and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Amgen.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 15 Mar 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 May 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?

Local Regional Control Rate at 2 Years (time frame: from study day 1 to 2 years). 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 NCT00547157, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Mar 2017.
