Trial summary

The hypothesis of the present study is that an automatic assessment technic can measure the impact of the speech disorders on the communication abilities giving a severity index of speech in patients treated for head and neck and particularly for oral and pharyngeal cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. carcinologic speech severity index

    The main objective is to demonstrate that the carcinologic speech severity index (C2SI), obtained by an automatic speech processing tool, produces equivalent or superior outcomes than a score of speech intelligibility obtained by human listeners, in terms of quality of life foreseeing the speech handicap, after the treatment of oral and/or pharyngeal cancer.

    Measured: day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing automatic speech processing tool in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by University Hospital, Toulouse.

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 3 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 29 Jul 2020. 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.

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?

carcinologic speech severity index (time frame: day 0). 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 NCT02875795, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Jul 2020.
