About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial Of Oxaliplatin With Docetaxel Followed By Epidermal Growth Factor Antibody (EGFR-AB) Cetuximab In Patients With Recurrent Or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck (SCCHN)

A study of Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel followed by Cetuximab for head and neck cancer patients to determine their effect on the control and reduction of tumor size

Read the detailed description

This is a non-randomized, open-label, phase II study to assess the effects of oxaliplatin and docetaxel followed by epidermal factor-antibody (EGFR-AB) cetuximab on patients with previously treated recurrent /metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Head and neck tissue will also be tested to determine if the protein Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor is present in the cancer cells.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Also called Eloxatin

    130 MG/M2 IV over 2 hours on day 1 of 21 day cycle over a period of 4 cycles

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    60 MG/M2 IV over 1 hour on day 1 of a 21 day cycle for a period of 4 cycles

  • CetuximabDrug

    Also called Erbitux

    400 MG/M2 on week 1 then 250 MG/M2 weekly for a total of 12 weeks

Study groups in NCT00591149
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalPatients will be treated with oxaliplatin 130 MG/M2 IV over 2 hours on day 1 and docetaxel 60 MG/M2 IV over 1 hour on day 1 of a 21 day cycle. Cycles of treatment will be repeated every 3 weeks for a total of 4 cycles or until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Patients who were treated with 4 cycles of oxaliplatin and docetaxel and had a response or stable disease will be treated with cetuximab at 400 MG/M2 on week 1 then 250 MG/M2 weekly for a total of 12 weeks, or until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
Receives: Drug: Oxaliplatin; Drug: Docetaxel; Drug: Cetuximab

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy Measured by Response Rate in Participants

    Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT and MRI:

    • Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions;
    • Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions;
    • Stable Disease (NR/SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter since the treatment started;
    • Progressive Disease (PD), A 20% or greater increase in the sum of the longest diameter of measured lesions (target lesions), taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: 12 Weeks, 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin, Docetaxel and Cetuximab in people with Head and Neck Cancer and Carcinoma, Squamous, run by University of Kansas Medical Center at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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 14 Jun 2017). 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?

Efficacy Measured by Response Rate in Participants (time frame: 12 Weeks, 1 Year). 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 14 Jun 2017.
