Read the detailed description

This is a phase II, single center, open-label, single arm study in patients with resectable, high grade salivary gland carcinoma. Patients will be treated with nivolumab 360mg and plus docetaxel 60mg/m2 and cisplatin 60mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 3 cycles and will be evaluated for the operability. Patients with R0 resection will receive radiation 59.4 Gy in 27 fractions. Boost RT of 6.6 Gy in 3 fractions to tumor bed and/or gross tumor will be optional in patients who had R1-R2 resection. If tumors are regarded inoperable after neoadjuvant therapy (due to high risk of post-operative complication, or metastatic disease), they will be off from this study and receive the appropriate treatment, though they will be also included in the efficacy and safety analyses.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major pathologic response rate defined by ≤ 10% of tumor composed of viable tumor

    Primary tumors were assessed for the percentage of residual viable tumor that was identified on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, and tumors with no more than 10% viable tumor cells were considered to have had a major pathological response. Patients who have progressive disease after neoadjuvant therapy and drop out from the study population will be counted as patients without major pathologic response.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Complete resection rate

    Complete resection indicates a microscopically margin-negative resection, in which no gross or microscopic tumor remains in the primary tumor bed. Complete resection rate is defined as the percentage of the patients that underwent a resection and had a microscopically complete (or R0) resection.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Response rate to neoadjuvant therapy according to RECIST 1.1

    RECIST 1.1 will be used as the primary measure for assessment of tumor response, date of disease progression, and as a basis for all protocol guidelines related to disease status (eg, discontinuation of study treatment).

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  3. Downstaging at pathologic staging compared to clinical staging performed at study entry

    Downstaging defined as pathologic TNM less than clinical TNM. Cancer staging calculator(AJCC 8th Edition)

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  4. Distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) rate at 2 years

    Distant metastases free survival (DMFS) is defined as the time between date of enrollment and the date of first diagnosis of distant metastasis or death, whichever comes first. Patients in whom distant metastases are discovered during neoadjuvant chemo/immunotherapy or the evaluation thereafter or at the immediate surgery, are considered to have an event at that time point.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  5. Disease free survival at 2 years

    Patients that have undergone a resection and are alive without distant metastases (regardless of locoregional failure) are censored at the last date available.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  6. Overall survival rate at 2 years

    Overall survival (OS) and is defined as the time between date of enrollment and date of death from any cause. Patients alive at last follow-up are censored at the last date available.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  7. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

    Who dose discontinued due to adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nivolumab, docetaxel, cisplatin Group in people with High-grade Salivary Gland Carcinoma, run by Myung-Ju Ahn at 1 site in South Korea.

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 17 inclusion and 29 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 14 Feb 2023. 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 South Korea. 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 Myung-Ju Ahn, Ph.D. (+82-2-3410-1359, silk.ahn@samsung.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major pathologic response rate defined by ≤ 10% of tumor composed of viable tumor (time frame: 6 months). 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 14 Feb 2023.
