About this study

Official title: Influences on the Nutrition Statuses and Clinical Outcomes of Early Use of Opioid to Control Local Mucosa Pain Induced by Irradiation in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients

This study is a superiority research to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of early use of oxycodone control release tablet for radiation mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

Read the detailed description

The present study is a prospective, randomizing, case-controlled, multi-center clinical trial. 174 firstly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who need radical radiation therapy will be randomly divided into either early intervention or common intervention group. oxycodone control release tablets will be used to control the pain caused by radiation oral mucositis when the pain level is mild or moderate, respectively. The primary outcome measurement is nutrition status. Quality of life (QOL), the clinical outcomes, and the adverse effects are also to be observed.

What participants receive

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

  • OxycodoneDrug

    Also called OxyContin

    Use oxycodone to treat patients with mild pain caused by radiation mucositis.

  • OxycodoneDrug

    Also called OxyContin

    Use oxycodone to treat patients with moderate/severe pain caused by radiation mucositis.

Study groups in NCT02309437
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Mild groupExperimentalUse oxycodone when pain is mild level. Start from 10 mg every 12 hours and titrate for appropriate dose.
Receives: Drug: Oxycodone
Moderate groupActive comparatorUse oxycodone when pain is moderate or severe level. Start from 10 mg every 12 hours and titrate for appropriate dose.
Receives: Drug: Oxycodone

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) was defined as the body mass (kg) divided by the square of the body height (m).

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Numeric rating scale (NRS)

    NRS refers to the number 0-10 to indicate the degree of pain, 0 is painless and 10 is the most painful.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

  2. Hemoglobin

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

  3. Albumin

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

  4. Quality of life score

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

  5. Dizziness

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

  6. Nausea/vomiting

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

  7. Somnolence

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxycodone in people with Nutrition Disorders and Quality of Life, run by Affiliated Cancer Hospital & Institute of Guangzhou Medical University at 4 sites in China.

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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in China. 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?

Body Mass Index (BMI) (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of radiotherapy, an expected average of 7 weeks.). 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 17 Jul 2018.
