About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of EN3285 for the Prevention or Delay to Onset of Severe Oral Mucositis in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Receiving Chemoradiotherapy

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study for the treatment of head and neck cancer(HNC), to assess the ability of EN3285 to prevent or delay the onset of severe oral mucositis(OM).

Read the detailed description

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in patients receiving chemoradiotherapy (ChemoRT) for the treatment of head and neck cancer(HNC), to assess the ability of EN3285 to prevent or delay the onset of severe oral mucositis(OM). The study includes a treatment period of up to 8 weeks, based on the patients' prescribed treatment plan, with a follow-up period of 12 months following completion of radiotherapy (RT).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing EN3285 in people with Oral Mucositis and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Endo USA Inc., a Keenova Therapeutics Company at 2 sites in United States.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 stopped early (reason given: Additional research). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

NCI v3 to measure severity of OM (time frame: At 50 Gy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 20 Sep 2013.
