About this study

Official title: A Clinical Outcomes Protocol of Photon/Proton Beam Radiation Therapy for Carcinoma of the Skin of the Head and Neck With Perineural Invasion

The purpose of this study is to collect information from the questionnaire and your medical records to see what effects the proton radiation has on you and your cancer and collect and analyze morbidity outcomes: Incidence of xerostomia (dry mouth) and tumor control.

Read the detailed description

Data collection will be obtained from the patient's medical records including initial evaluation, pathology report, dosimetry information, radiotherapy completion records and follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collect and analyze morbidity outcomes: Incidence of grade 3 or higher xerostomia (dry mouth)

    Measured: 1 year following the completion of radiation therapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Collect and analyze tumor control outcomes.

    Measured: When each patient has been followed for a minimum of 6 months and then again at 24 months.

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?

Collect and analyze morbidity outcomes: Incidence of grade 3 or higher xerostomia (dry mouth) (time frame: 1 year following the completion of radiation therapy). 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 NCT00797043, which also lists 9 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?
