What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events

    Number of participants with at least one adverse event. All adverse events were collected during the 8 week treatment period and the following 4 weeks. Serious adverse events were collected during 3 years after the patient was allocated to the trial.

    Measured: Overall Study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Response

    Tumour response according to RECIST criteria J Natl Cancer Inst 2000;92:205-16 assessed by CT/MRI. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR), CR+PR

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Time to Response

    Tumour response according to RECIST criteria J Natl Cancer Inst 2000;92:205-16 assessed by CT/MRI. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR), CR+PR

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Best Overall Tumor Response

    Tumour response according to RECIST criteria J Natl Cancer Inst 2000;92:205-16 assessed by CT/MRI. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR), CR+PR

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted20 Nov 2006 (estimated)
  2. Study startDec 2006
  3. Primary completionOct 2010
  4. Study completionOct 2010

Why it stopped: MTD was established and patients completed 16 months safety f-up and response assessments. It is considered of limited value to follow patients for 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing zalutumumab, cisplatin and Radiotherapy in people with Head and Neck Cancer and Squamous Cell Cancer, run by Genmab at 7 sites in 5 countries.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, France, United States, Netherlands, Sweden. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Adverse Events (time frame: Overall Study). 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 23 Dec 2011.
