About this study

Official title: High Dose Conditioning With Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, and Etoposide With Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This is a pilot study to evaluate the response rates for patients undergoing high dose conditioning chemotherapy using Etoposide, Carboplatin and Ifosfamide followed by autologous stem cell transplantation for the treatment of recurrent Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Read the detailed description

The use of high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma has shown promise when compared with standard chemotherapy. This study has been designed to evaluate response rates and toxicities associated with undergoing high dose conditioning with Etoposide, Carboplatin and Ifosfamide followed by autologous stem cell transplantation support in the treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Etoposide phosphateDrug

    Also called Etopophos, Toposar

    Etoposide is one of three drugs used in the high-dose conditioning phase

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Paraplatin

    Carboplatin is one of the drugs used in the high-dose conditioning phase.

  • IfosfamideDrug

    Also called Ifex

    Ifosfamide is one of the drugs used in the high-dose conditioning phase

  • Autologous Stem Cell TransplantationProcedure or surgery

    Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation follows the high-dose chemotherapy phase of the arm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Etoposide phosphate, Carboplatin and Ifosfamide in people with Recurrent Nasopharynx Carcinoma, run by University of Florida 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 24 Jun 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jun 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Evaluate the Tumor Response (time frame: 12 months after completion of treatment). 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 Jun 2019.
