About this study
The primary objective of this study is to determine the tolerance and overall survival in patients with stage Ⅲ NPC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiation.
Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the distant metastases free survival, and disease-free survival of patients with stage Ⅲ treated with this regimen.
Read the detailed description
Concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for locally advanced NPC. The survival benefit gained from adding neoadjuvant chemotherapy to concurrent chemoradiation has never been defined. In the present trail, we hope to assess the tolerance and survival benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation in patients with stage Ⅲ NPC.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
docetaxel, cisplatin, fluorouracilDrug
neoadjuvant chemotherapy:docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on day 1; cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on day 1; continuous fluorouracil infusion at 500 mg/m2/d on days 1 through 5.
concurrent chemotherapy:cisplatin 40 mg/m2 weekly
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Other | All patients will receive docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on day 1; cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on day 1; and a continuous fluorouracil infusion at 500 mg/m2/d on days 1 through 5.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel, cisplatin, fluorouracil in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Fudan 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 7 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2009. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Lin Kong, MD (8621-64175590 ext. 3900, konglinj@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
overall survival (time frame: 3 and 5 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 5 Jan 2009.
