About this study

Official title: A Phase I Pilot Study of SBRT and Concurrent Docetaxel for Reirradiation of Locally Recurrent or Second Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of a chemotherapy drug called docetaxel and focused radiation therapy (SBRT) and see what effects (good and bad) it has on recurrent head and neck cancer that is not surgically removable.

Being tested
Docetaxel, Stereotactic Radiation
Medical subject headings
Head and Neck Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere, NDC 0075-8001-20

    Docetaxel 15mg/m2 IV, given days 1, 8, and 15 during SBRT

  • Stereotactic RadiationRadiation

    Also called SBRT, Stereotactic Body Radiation, Radiation Therapy

    SBRT will be given over 5 fractions separated by > 48 hours. Dose will be determined based upon dose escalation schedule and will range from 25-40 Gy.

Docetaxel + Stereotactic RadiationExperimentalDocetaxel 15mg/m2 IV weekly for 3 weeks. SBRT 25-40 Gy in 5 fractions given twice weekly with each treatment separated by > 48 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of acute dose limiting toxicities

    Acute dose limiting toxicity is defined as grade 4 or 5 toxicity measured by the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v 4.0, including carotid arterial rupture

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Locoregional control

    Time from enrollment until local failure or death (whichever comes first)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Disease-free survival

    Time from enrollment until disease progression anywhere in the body or death (whichever comes first)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. overall survival

    Time from enrollment to death from any cause

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Number of late effect dose limiting toxicities

    Occuring > 3 months after treatment completion, including grade 4 and 5 toxicities measured by CTCAE v 4.0 involving skin, mucosa, larynx, pharynx, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and incidence of caroid blowout.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Docetaxel and Stereotactic Radiation in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by University of Cincinnati 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 9 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2019. 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 was stopped early (reason given: slow accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of acute dose limiting toxicities (time frame: 3 months). 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 25 Nov 2019.
