About this study

Official title: Preoperative Radiotherapy and Concomitant Chemotherapy Followed by Surgery for Advanced Paranasal Sinus Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy pre-operatively in patients with advanced paranasal sinus cancer. The main objectives of this study are: 1) to measure the rate of complete response to preoperative chemoradiation and 2) to study the efficacy of combining preoperative chemoradiation and surgery in terms of local control of the cancer two years post treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local control of cancer at two years post treatment

  2. Response to preoperative chemoradiation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Estimation of the proportion of the inoperable tumors which become operable after chemoradiation

  2. Identification of factors that are associated with inoperability

  3. Estimation of the overall survival and cumulative incidence of death due to disease at 2 years

  4. Determination of the acute and long-term toxicity, particularly ophthalmologic complications, and surgical morbidity associated with this regimen

  5. Measurement of the accuracy of conventional imaging techniques (CT, MRI) compared with the addition of PET imaging in predicting the response to chemoradiation therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cisplatin, targeted radiation therapy and tumor resection in people with Paranasal Sinus Neoplasms, run by University of Tennessee.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Local control of cancer at two years post treatment. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Dec 2008; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
