About this study

Official title: Multicentre,A Phase II/III Randomized Study of Adjuvant Anti-Angiogenesis Therapy for Patients of High-Risk Oral Cavity Cancer

Objectives:

  1. To study the effect of anti-angiogenesis therapy on reducing the recurrence of high-risk oral cavity cancer patients after curative local treatment.
  2. To study the toxicity and compliance of post-operative anti-angiogenesis therapy

Study design:

This is a multi-center randomized controlled phase II/III two-stage study.

Study endpoints:

The primary endpoint is the tumor-free survival (primary and second primary malignancies) and the primary analysis is to compare the tumor-free survival between groups.

Read the detailed description

Type and number of patients:

Patients with resectable oral cancer of clinical stage N2, 3 or skin-involved T4 will be enrolled.

Sample size at the first stage is 64 patients per group and the total sample size at the end of the second stage is 192 patients per group, assuming that the accrual rate/hazard rate = 1.33, an α=0.05 and power of 0.8 (Hypotheses: H0:θ ≦ 1.0 and Ha: θ ≧ 1.33)

Treatment schedule:

Group A:standard postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Group B:Immediately after operation starts thalidomide (50) 4# per day and celecoxib (200) 2# bid for three weeks, in addition to standard postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Group C:Immediately after operation starts cyclophosphamide (50) 1# per day and dexamethasone (0.5) 2# qd for three weeks, in addition to standard postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the tumor-free survival that is defined as the duration between the dates of operation and the date of disease recurrence.

    Measured: 7 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physical examinations, lab abnormality and other toxicities graded by the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria will be examined to evaluate safety profiles of the study treatments.

    Measured: 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Thalidomide, Celebrex and Cyclophosphamide, Dexamethasone in people with Oral Cavity Cancer, run by National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 25 Feb 2015. 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 combined 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.

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. 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?

The primary endpoint is the tumor-free survival that is defined as the duration between the dates of operation and the date of disease recurrence. (time frame: 7 years). 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 25 Feb 2015.
