About this study

Official title: Phase II Randomized Trial Comparing Paclitaxel Combined With DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This is a Phase II Randomized Trial to Compare Paclitaxel combined with DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Read the detailed description

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in South China. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Concurrent chemoradiation has become a standard treatment for locally advanced stage III-IVb nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, The recommended single-agent DDP concurrent chemotherapy regimen for high-risk patients (IVa-IVb period) to improve the efficacy was not significant. Paclitaxel combined with platinum in the same period of chemotherapy regimen has been widely used in head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and lung cancer and other tumors, a number of studies have shown that it has good tolerance and efficacy. And a number of previous studies have shown that paclitaxel combined with platinum chemotherapy in the same period of head and neck cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer in multiple phase II clinical trials to achieve encouraging results. Based on the above background and basis, for the high risk (IVa-IVb) nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment, the applicant intends to carry out the first IMRT + paclitaxel + DDP concurrent chemotherapy compared with DDP single drug concurrent chemotherapy regimen Pharyngeal cancer in a prospective randomized controlled phase Ⅱ clinical trial for paclitaxel + DDP dual-chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma to provide evidence-based basis. (IVa-IVb) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and to provide a high-level evidence-based evidence-based approach to the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma at high risk (stage IVa-IVb). The results of this study will be used in international guidelines to optimize high- Treatment of cancer patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3-year progress free survival(PFS)

    PFS means assignment to the date of any local or distant progress of the disease using Kaplan-Meier calculate the progress free survival rates,and find out is there significant difference between these two groups

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)

  1. overall survival(OS)

    the overall survival denote to assignment to date of death from any cause. Using Kaplan-Meier to calculate the 2-year ,3-year,5-year overall survival rate,and find is there any significant difference between these two groups.

    Measured: 2 years ,3 years and 5 years

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

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?

3-year progress free survival(PFS) (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT03047265, which also lists 5 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 10 Feb 2017.
