What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine whether addition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before definite CCRT increase progression-free survival(PFS) compared with CCRT only

    Measured: 18 months after the enrollment of the last patients

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine whether addtion of neoaduvant chemotherapy increase complete response rate compared with CCRT only

    Measured: 18 months after enrollemnt of last patients

  2. To determine whether addtion of neoaduvant chemotherapy increase organ preservation rate compared with CCRT only

    Measured: 18 months after the enrollment of the last patient

  3. To determine whether addition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to CCRT increase the number of patients with adverse events compared with CCRT only

    Measured: 18 months after the enrollment of the last patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing neoadjuvant docetaxel/cisplatin/fluorouracil and No treatment before definitive CCRT in people with Hypopharyngeal Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 9 Dec 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To determine whether addition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before definite CCRT increase progression-free survival(PFS) compared with CCRT only (time frame: 18 months after the enrollment of the last patients). 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 9 Dec 2019.
