About this study

Official title: Phase III Trial of Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy Plus Cisplatin Versus Conventional Radiotherapy Plus Cisplatin in Patients With Stage III-IV Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This is a multicentric randomized phase III trial comparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (75 Gy) plus cisplatin versus conventional radiotherapy (70 Gy) plus cisplatin in patients with stage III-IV squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity, oropharynx or hypopharynx. The main end points are the rate of locoregional control and the rate of xerostomia at 2 years.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicentric randomized phase III trial comparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy plus concomitant cisplatin versus conventional radiotherapy plus concomitant cisplatin in patients with stage III-IV squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity, oropharynx or hypopharynx. The main end points are the rate of locoregional control and the rate of xerostomia at 2 years.

The IMRT total dose is 75 Gy (50 Gy to PTV1 and T0 + 25 Gy (10 fractions) to PTV2). The conventional radiotherapy total dose is 70 Gy (50 Gy to PTV1 + 20 Gy (10 fractions) to PTV2). In both arms, the cervical nodes will receive 50 Gy (65 Gy in case of Np) by conventional radiotherapy (IMRT is allowed in the IRMT arm). In the two arms, patients will receive concomitant cisplatin (100 mg/m² D1, D21, D42).

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing IMRT 75 Gy, Conventional radiotherapy 70 Gy and concomitant cisplatin in people with Oral Cancer and Oropharynx Cancer, run by Groupe Oncologie Radiotherapie Tete et Cou at 2 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 15 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Loco regional control (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 NCT00158678, 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 15 Apr 2020.
