About this study

Official title: Health Economic Evaluation of Tomotherapy and Dynamic Arctherapy in ENT Epidermoid Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to do health economic evaluation of tomotherapy and dynamic arctherapy (2 techniques exist: RapidArc and Vmat).

This study evaluate also local disease control after 18 months in patients with an ENT epidermoid carcinoma and treated by tomotherapy orarctherapy .

The number of patients required in this study is: 300:

  • Number of patients treated with tomotherapy: 120
  • Number of patients treated with dynamic arctherapy RapidArc: 120
  • Number of patients treated with dynamic arctherapy Vmat: 60

This is a prospective; multicentric and non randomized study.

What is being measured

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

  1. The various of cost between tomotherapy and Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

    The purpose of this study is to realise a Health economic evaluation of the various cost between tomotherapy and Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The economic impact of the learning curve of the tomotherapy process, the operating procedures and the activity of the centres

    To estimate the economic impact of the learning curve of the tomotherapy process, the operating procedures and the activity of the centres

    Measured: 18 months

  2. To determine the difference of cost for the preparation phase and the irradiation phase of the radiotherapy procedure

    One of the secondary objectives for the economic evaluation is to individualize the difference of cost for the preparation phase and the irradiation phase of the radiotherapy procedure

    Measured: 18 months

  3. The salivary toxicity

    The salivary function will be assessed at baeline; 6; 12 and 18 months post treatment.

    This evaluation will be done with differents scale (RTOG, EVA); and with salivary scan.

    Measured: at 6; 12 and 18 months post treatment

  4. To determine the rate of disease local control

    Assement of disease by clinical exam and/or imaging.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6; Month 18

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Centre Leon Berard at 14 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 9 inclusion and 6 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 31 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 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.

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 various of cost between tomotherapy and Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT) (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT02024035, which also lists 2 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 31 Dec 2013.
