About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Radiotherapy to Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy for Laryngeal Preservation in T3MO Pyriform Sinus Carcinoma

Patients were eligible if they had biopsy proven, previously untreated T3 with fixed cord involvement squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus.

The study compare conventional radiotherapy with concurrent cisplatin to induction chemotherapy with cisplatin fluorouracil followed by conventional radiotherapy. The primary end point was the preservation of the larynx. The secondary end points included toxicity, causes of death and survival rates.

Read the detailed description

Objectives: To compare conventional radiotherapy with concurrent cisplatin to induction chemotherapy with cisplatin fluorouracil followed by conventional radiotherapy. The primary end point was the preservation of the larynx. The secondary end points included toxicity, causes of death and survival rates.

Design: Multicenter prospective randomized phase III trial. Setting: Academic tertiary care center. Patients: Seventy one adult patients with biopsy-proven previously untreated resectable T3 with fixed cord involvement squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus.

Main Outcomes Measures: Patients were evaluated for toxic reactions, and organ preservation and survival rates. Statistical analysis of overall survival and event free survival was performed using the Kaplan Meier method.

What participants receive

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

  • induction chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Cisplatin was administered intravenously at a dose of 100 mg/m2 on day 1 and fluorouracil was administered at a dose of 1 000 mg/m2/day by continuous intravenous infusion on day 1 to 5 for 2 courses after 3 weeks. After induction chemotherapy patients underwent ears, nose and throat examination and computed tomography imaging. If a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) of more than 80% is identified in the primary tumor, the patient was offered conventional radiotherapy as part of the protocol treatment. Radiotherapy was administered in 35 fractions of 2 Gy each over a 7 weeks period to the primary tumor (50 Gy) and the neck lymph nodes. The dose to the pathologically positive nodes was supplemented (20 Gy) at a total dose of 70 Gy. Doses and schedules of radiotherapy were identical in both treatment arms of the study.

  • Conventionnal chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Intravenous cisplatin at dose of 100 mg/m2 on days 1, 22 and 43 was administered concomitantly with conventional radiotherapy to the primary tumor and to the neck lymph nodes according to the pathological findings of the pre-treatment neck dissection at a total dose of 70 Gy.

    • Surgery was recommended to all patients who had a response less than 80%, stable disease or progressive disease in the primary tumor. If surgery was not feasible, the treatment choice was left up to the investigator's discretion.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end point was to compare the two treatment arms to define the best schedule of preservation of an intact larynx.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary end points analyzed causes of death, overall survival rate and event (loco-regional recurrent disease, metastases, death) free survival rate.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing induction chemotherapy and Conventionnal chemotherapy in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 7 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 Oct 2008. 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 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 combined 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.

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?

The primary end point was to compare the two treatment arms to define the best schedule of preservation of an intact larynx. (time frame: 2 years). 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 Oct 2008.
