Trial summary

Two Phase Ⅲ trials (TAX323 and TAX324) showed induction chemotherapy adding docetaxel to cisplatin plus fluorouracil (TPF) could significant improve survival in head and neck cancer, and a Phase Ⅱ trial from Hong Kong by Hui and colleges with this strategy has also been reported in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Comparing One Cycle With Three Cycles Induction Chemotherapy Using Docetaxel, Cisplatin and Fluorouracil in Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Two Phase Ⅲ trials (TAX323 and TAX324) showed induction chemotherapy adding docetaxel to cisplatin plus fluorouracil (TPF) could significant improve survival in head and neck cancer, and a Phase Ⅱ trial from Hong Kong by Hui and colleges with this strategy has also been reported in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, whether three cycles induction could delay the whole time of treatment and reduce the survival benefit are still unknown. A retrospective study of one cycle TPF induction chemotherapy by the investigators group (not yet published) could improve survival in NPC. It encourage us to conduct this clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

Patients presented with non-keratinizing NPC and stage Ⅲ-Ⅳb T3-4N1M0/TxN2M0 are randomly assigned to receive one cycle induction chemotherapy (docetaxel+cisplatin+fluorouracil) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (investigational arm) or three cycles induction chemotherapy (docetaxel+cisplatin+fluorouracil) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (investigational arm)(control arm). Patients in both arms receive radical Intensity modulated radiation therapy (Trilogy, Varian), and cisplatin (30mg/m2) every weeks for six cycles during radiotherapy. Radiation is delivered to GTV at 70 Gy in 30 fractions, CTV1 at at 60 Gy in 30 fractions and CTV2 at 54 Gy in 30 fractions. Patients in the investigational arm receive docetaxel (60mg/m2 on day 1), cisplatin (20mg/m2 on day 1-4) and fluorouracil (800mg/m2/d,continuous infusion, day 1-4) every three weeks for one cycle or three cycles before the radiotherapy. The primary end point is response rates after radiotherapy, failure-free survival (FFS) and toxic effects and treatment compliance. Secondary end points include overall survival (OS), distant failure-free survival (D-FFS), locoregional failure-free survival (LR-FFS). All efficacy analyses are conducted in the intention-to-treat population; the safety population include only patients who receive their randomly assigned treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Failure-free survival

    Failure-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the first failure at any site.

    Measured: 3 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Locoregional failure-free survival

    the data of randomization to the first local failure,

    Measured: 3-year

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival is calculated from randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: 3-year

  3. Distant failure-free survival

    the data of randomization to the first remote failure

    Measured: 3-year

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hong W WEI, M.D. (+86-757-83162835, wwhong@fsyyy.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Failure-free survival (time frame: 3 year). 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 NCT02096380, which also lists 7 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2014.
