About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of Sorafenib in Combination With Cisplatin and Docetaxel in Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sorafenib tosylate and docetaxel when given together with cisplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib tosylate may also help cisplatin and docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Giving sorafenib tosylate, cisplatin, and docetaxel may be an effective treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To define progression-free survival of patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma treated with cisplatin/docetaxel/sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) (CDS) combination chemotherapy. (Phase II) II. To determine the optimal doses of cisplatin/docetaxel/sorafenib to be used in the phase II portion of the trial. (Phase I)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine overall survival, response rate, conduct biomarker studies, toxicities.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of sorafenib tosylate and docetaxel followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive sorafenib tosylate orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14 of course 0. Beginning in course 1, patients receive sorafenib tosylate PO BID on days 1-21, docetaxel intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1, and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive sorafenib tosylate PO BID in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as graded according to the NCI-CTCAE v4.0 (Phase I)

    A DLT will be considered a grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity or grade 4 hematologic toxicity that are probably or definitely related to treatment and result in treatment delay of more than 14 days.

    Measured: Day 21 of course 1

  2. Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase II)

    PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Time of enrollment to the date of progression diagnosis or death, assessed up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    OS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment

  2. Response rate evaluated by RECIST v1.1

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment

  3. Biomarker levels

    Biomarkers from tissue and blood samples will be evaluated and correlated with outcome parameters. Correlative biomarkers will be analyzed using mixed model for repeated measurement to account for the association of measures overtime from the same patient.

    Measured: Up to 42 days

  4. Incidence of toxicities, graded according to NCI-CTCAE version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks after completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing sorafenib tosylate, cisplatin and docetaxel in people with Metastatic Squamous Neck Cancer With Occult Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Recurrent Metastatic Squamous Neck Cancer With Occult Primary, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 15 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 24 May 2018. 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?

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as graded according to the NCI-CTCAE v4.0 (Phase I) (time frame: Day 21 of course 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 May 2018.
