Trial summary

Complete response is a rare event in metastatic anal cancer in the case of unresectable recurrence after radiochemotherapy. In the University Hospital Center of Besançon, 8 patients with metastatic anal cancer were treated between 2005 and 2008 by 6 cycles of chemotherapy including taxane: DCF (Docetaxel, Cisplatin… Read more about this study

About this study

Complete response is a rare event in metastatic anal cancer in the case of unresectable recurrence after radiochemotherapy.

In more than 90% of cases, anal cancers are related to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, that is the case of this patients for which HPV16 (human papillomavirus type 16) genotype was identified within the tumor samples.

The hypothesis is that an anti-HPV response immune could be generated by chemotherapy with DCF and contributed to the elimination of the tumour cells and to the increase of complete responses. The aim to this study is to analyze immune response against HPV in this patients in complete response.

What is being measured

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

  1. presence and characterization of anti-HPV immune responses in patients in complete remission

    Measured: 3 months after sample

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. global survival

    Measured: from date to initiation of chemotherapy until the date of death for any cause assessed up to 100 months

  2. progression free survival

    Measured: from date to initiation of chemotherapy until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DCF regimen in people with Metastatic Anal Canal Cancer and Human Papillomavirus, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 20 May 2020. 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 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.

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?

presence and characterization of anti-HPV immune responses in patients in complete remission (time frame: 3 months after sample). 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 20 May 2020.
