Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or "unknown primary lesions" at the time of diagnosis if metastatic disease present with a history of plausible primary skin site removed in the past. Example: squamous cell carcinoma in neck or parotid lymph nodes with no identifiable mucosal primary but with a history of the removal of one or more early stage squamous cell carcinomas of the skin in an anatomically relevant lymphatic drainage region would be eligible
  • Measurable disease, defined as at least 1 lesion that can be accurately measured in at least 1 dimension as ≥ 10 mm with computed tomography (CT) scan; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); or calipers during clinical exam
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
  • Life expectancy greater than 3 months
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/mcL
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Total bilirubin
  • Within normal institutional limits OR
  • ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) if participant has Gilbert's syndrome (elevated unconjugated bilirubin from decreased UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 [UGT1A1] activity)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) ≤ 2.5 x institutional ULN or up to 5 X ULN if known to be caused by liver metastases
  • Creatinine OR
  • < 1.3 mg/dL OR
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal (Note creatinine clearances between 30 and 49 mg/dL necessitate dose modification)
  • For participants with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD)/myocardial infarction (MI) or congestive heart failure (CHF), ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50% by multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) or echocardiogram (exceptions by PI discretion)

Who cannot join

  • Prior treatment with systemic capecitabine or prodrugs
  • Prior treatment with systemic fluorouracil (5-FU) or prodrugs (prior topical treatment with 5FU is permitted if recovered from any toxicities > grade 1, and after at least 5 half-lives of the last systemically administered agent have passed)
  • Receiving any other investigational agents or anti-cancer treatments
  • Candidates for curative locoregional treatment (patients with recurrent locoregional disease following surgery and/ or radiation for which a resection is unacceptably morbid and unlikely to be curative are eligible)
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to capecitabine
  • Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to:
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Ongoing or active infection
  • Symptomatic congestive heart failure
  • Unstable angina pectoris
  • Cardiac arrhythmia
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Pregnant
  • Lactating

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin

Phase 2 evaluation of capecitabine in patients with advanced or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

Read the detailed description

Participants are to receive 500 mg/m² of capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1 to 14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Response assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

    Measured: 9 weeks (3 cycles)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) at 1 Year

    Proportion of participants with progression-free survival (PFS) at 1 year, as calculated based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) at 2 Years

    Proportion of participants with progression-free survival (PFS) at 2 years, as calculated based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Overall Survival (OS) at 1 Year

    Proportion of participants with overall survival (OS) at 1 year, as calculated based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Overall Survival (OS) at 2 Years

    Proportion of participants with overall survival (OS) at 2 years, as calculated based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin and Recurrent Skin Cancer, run by Stanford University 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 14 inclusion and 13 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 12 Apr 2018. 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 10 Mar 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: 9 weeks (3 cycles)). 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 12 Apr 2018.
