About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Cabazitaxel - Platinum Fluorouracil Induction Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

The primary objective of this study is to determine the first-cycle maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II (RP2D) dose of Cabazitaxel when combined with Cisplatin and Follow-Up induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck for three cycles.

Read the detailed description

The primary study objectives are the following:

  • To assess the safety, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicity of cabazitaxel when combined with cisplatin and Follow-Up (FU) induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
  • To establish the phase II recommended dose of cabazitaxel when combined with cisplatin and Follow-Up induction in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

The secondary study objectives, in regards to the combined Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil regimen in patients with newly diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, are the following:

  • To assess the toxicity profile
  • To assess best Overall Response Rate (complete and partial responses) after completion of 3 cycles of treatment
  • To assess Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) after 3 years Analysis of the secondary variables will be primarily descriptive in nature due to the small sample size. All results will be considered hypothesis generating to be confirmed in a future study.

Patient, for whom an informed consent has been obtained and who have met the inclusion/exclusion criteria after having the screening evaluation performed within a one-week window, will be assigned to a dose level according to the dose escalation rule described in the protocol. Treatment consists of an Induction chemotherapy period, which is the period when the patient will undergo 3 cycles of Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil (PF). The Induction chemotherapy will be followed by Consolidation Therapy, which is 6-7 weeks of Chemoradiation treatment or Surgery + Recovery time, depending on their primary site and overall medical condition. Both treatment periods will consist of approximately 16 weeks (9 weeks of Induction and 7 weeks of Consolidation, if Chemoradiation Radiation Therapy (CRT)), or shorter than 16 weeks, if surgery. After three cycles, the patients will be assessed for clinical, radiographic, and pathologic response to Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil before beginning Chemoradiation Radiation Therapy or surgery. Patients, who do not complete three cycles of Cabazitaxel-Platinum Fluorouracil for reasons of toxicity, progressive disease, choice, or other medical necessity, will be treated with standard Chemoradiation Radiation Therapy or surgery depending on their primary site and overall medical condition. Once the Consolidation treatment is completed, the follow-up of patients will be for 3 years.

Cabazitaxel 10mg/m2, Cabazitaxel 12.5mg/m2, Cabazitaxel 15mg/m2, Cabazitaxel 17.5mg/m2, Cabazitaxel 20mg/m2

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    MTD is defined as the dose level immediately below the DLT. The study will be conducted until MTD and recommended Phase II dose are established.

    Measured: at 1 week

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    MTD is defined as the dose level immediately below the DLT. The study will be conducted until MTD and recommended Phase II dose are established.

    Measured: at 4 weeks

  3. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    MTD is defined as the dose level immediately below the DLT. The study will be conducted until MTD and recommended Phase II dose are established.

    Measured: at 7 weeks

  4. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    MTD is defined as the dose level immediately below the DLT. The study will be conducted until MTD and recommended Phase II dose are established.

    Measured: at 9 weeks

  5. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)

    DLT is defined as a grade3 toxicity lasting more than 7 days or grade 4 or 5 toxicity, with the exception of febrile neutropenia which will be considered as ½ DLT per full dose per episode.

    Measured: at 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Toxicity Profile

    The toxicity profile of cabazitaxel when combined with cisplatin and FU induction chemotherapy will be assessed

    Measured: at 9 weeks

  2. Overall Response Rate

    The Best Overall Response Rate (complete and partial responses) will be assessed after completion of 3 cycles of treatment.

    Measured: at 9 weeks

  3. Progression Free Survival/Overall Survival

    The Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival will be assessed during the 3-year follow-up period. The follow-up period is every 3 months for the first 2 years post consolidation (week 16) thereafter every 6 months for the 3rd year post consolidation (week 16).

    Measured: for 3 years

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2015. 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.

What does this 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.

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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: at 1 week). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01379339, which also lists 26 linked publications.

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 11 Feb 2015.
