Study population: Subjects enrolled on a previous head and neck cancer treatment protocol

Eligibility Criteria:

Eligibility Criteria:

Subjects previously enrolled in a treatment protocol for locally advanced head and neck cancer who met the following criteria:

  1. Patients with Stage IV carcinoma of the nasal or oral cavity, nasopharynx pharynx, larynx, paranasal sinuses, cervical esophagus, or hypopharynx are eligible. Patients with Stage III carcinoma of the nasopharynx, base of tongue and hypopharynx are also eligible. Therapy is given with curative intent. Prior to entry in the study the resectability and standard treatment options for each patient will be determined during a joint evaluation by a team composed of an attending surgeon, a radiation oncologist and a medical oncologist. In addition the timing and feasibility of surgery will be determined in each patient prior to initiation of therapy. The unequivocal demonstration of distant metastasis confers in eligibility.
  2. Measurable disease is not required, but all disease will be carefully evaluated.
  3. Patients must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma or lymphoepithelioma.
  4. Patients must have not received prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  5. Patients must have performance status of >60%
  6. Patients must have a WBC count of >3.5, an ANC count >1500 and a platlet count of >100,000.
  7. The serum creatinine must be equal to or less than 1.5 m/dlor the calculated creatinine clearance must exceed 50cc/min.
  8. Patient must be free of significant infection or other severe complicating medical illness.
  9. Pregnancy will constitute an absolute contraindication to entrance on this protocol.

About this study

This protocol was opened to collect long term survival information on subjects enrolled in a previous study which evaluated the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concomitant chemoradiotherapy with organ preserving optional surgery on overall survival, time to progression, pattern of disease recurrence in patient with locally advanced head and neck cancer. The last surviving subject was last treated in 1989, and was lost to follow up in 2010.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    To collect long term survival information on subjects treated on a previous protocol which evaluated the the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concomitant chemoradiotherapy with organ preserving optional surgery on overall survival, time to progression, and pattern of disease recurrence in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.

    Measured: Until Death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 29 Nov 2023. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: Until Death). 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 29 Nov 2023.
