About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Three Hour Infusion of Paclitaxel Plus Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil in Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the overall survival of patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated with paclitaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil.
  • Determine response (unconfirmed, confirmed, complete, and partial) and time to treatment failure in patients with measurable disease treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by cisplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and fluorouracil IV over 24 hours on days 1-4. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response (CR) receive 3 additional courses beyond CR.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 65 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the duration from the date of registration until the date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive were censored at the date of last contact.

    Measured: Every 3 weeks while on protocol treatment, then every 3 months for the first year, and then every 6 years thereafter for up to 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, fluorouracil and paclitaxel in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 95 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 10 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 95 sites in United States. 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: Every 3 weeks while on protocol treatment, then every 3 months for the first year, and then every 6 years thereafter for up to 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 NCT00006248, 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 10 Apr 2013.
