About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Combination of Sorafenib With Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil as First-line Treatment of Recurrence After Radiotherapy Patients Who Are Failure of Radiotherapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)

This study is a phase II clinical study. Recurrence after radiotherapy patients who are failure of radiotherapy in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were treated by cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil with Sorafenib as first-line treatment. The objective response(complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)), Disease Control Rate , safety profile, tolerability will be evaluated according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (CR+PR)

    In the ITT analysis(n=54), the ORR reached 77.8%: one patient (1.9%) experienced CR; 41 (75.9%), PR.

    Measured: January 2009 to May 2011

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Disease control rate

    The disease control rate (DCR) was 90.8%.

    Measured: January 2009 to May 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sorafenib plus Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in people with Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 15 inclusion and 12 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 10 Dec 2013. 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 China. 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?

Objective response rate (CR+PR) (time frame: January 2009 to May 2011). 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 2013.
