About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Maintenance Tegafur-uracil in Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Cavity With Extracapsular Spreading of Lymph Nodes

Primary Objective:

To determine the 2-year distant failure rate of maintenance tegafur-uracil in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity with extracapsular spreading of lymph nodes.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To determine the 2-year locoregional failure rate.
  • To evaluate the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate.
  • To evaluate the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate.
  • To assess the safety profiles.
Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint will be 2-years distant failure rate which will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method with two-sided 95% confidence interval.

The secondary endpoints are described as follows:

  • 2-year locoregional failure rate, 2-year PFS rate and 2-year OS rate will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method with two-sided 95% confidence interval.
  • Safety profile: adverse events will be summarized by CTCAE. Safety parameters will only be analyzed on the safety analysis set and be presented in frequency tabulation.

Determination of sample size:

The estimated 2-year distant failure rate for squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity with extracapsular spreading of lymph nodes is 26%. The 2-year distant failure rate of maintenance treatment with tegafur-uracil in this study is expected to be 13%. Using One Proportional Test with one-sided alpha 0.05 and power 80%, the sample size of 56 subjects will test an effect size of 13% (i.e. 26% vs.13%). With expected dropout rate of 20%, the sample size would be 68 subjects.

MaintenanceExperimentalEligible patient will be given maintenance tegafur-uracil for one year. Dose of tegafur-uracil will be based on patient's body surface area (BSA): * BSA < 1.5 m2: tegafur-uracil 300 mg/day (1 capsule three times a day) * BSA ≥ 1.5 m2: tegafur-uracil 400 mg/day (2 capsules twice a day) Tegafur-uracil will be started after patient has complete the adjuvant radiotherapy and been enrolled into the study.
Receives: Drug: tegafur-uracil

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tegafur-uracil in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Cavity, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 18 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hung-Ming Wang, M.D. (+886 33281200 ext. 8820, whm526@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the 2-year distant failure rate (time frame: 2 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 NCT03121313, which also lists 6 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 12 Feb 2019.
