About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Olaparib in Addition to Cisplatin Based Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Patients With High Risk Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (HNSCC)

The aim of this study is to find the safe dose and best dosing schedule of olaparib to give in combination with cisplatin based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. The dose decided on in this part of the study will become the recommended dose for the randomised Phase II trial.

Read the detailed description

This is a dose escalating Phase I/II trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of the addition of olaparib to CRT in high risk locally advanced human papillomavirus (HPV) negative Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (HNSCC). A fixed dose of weekly cisplatin and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) will be used, with doses of olaparib escalating for consecutive days and both dose level and duration will be increased through each cohort.

This Phase I trial will assess how olaparib, a poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor is tolerated when added to standard chemoradiotherapy treatment.

Patients will be recruited from sites in the UK only.

A placebo controlled, randomised Phase II trial will follow once the recommended dose and schedule of olaparib has been established.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of dose limiting toxicities

    Measured: 6 weeks post completion of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Complete response rate

    Measured: 12 weeks post completion of treatment

  2. Time to loco-regional progression

    Measured: 2 years post completion of treatment

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing olaparib, cisplatin and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Squamous Cell, run by University College, London.

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 11 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2012. 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Frequency of dose limiting toxicities (time frame: 6 weeks post completion of treatment). 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 30 May 2012.
