About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound Hyperthermia in Combination With Chemotherapy on Oral and Maxillofacial-Head and Neck Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Ultrasound Hyperthermia is effective and safe in the treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial-Head and Neck Cancer.

Read the detailed description

As a non-invasive treatment, Ultrasound Hyperthermia has received increasing interest for the treatment of cancer.Many studies have shown that Therapeutic Ultrasound is safe and effective. Eligible patients were randomly assigned by using permutated blocks designed for each site to receive either Ultrasound Hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy (Arm A) or chemotherapy alone(Arm B).Chemotherapy will be conducted as follows. For Squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck,it will be administrated with Docetaxel(at a dose of 75 mg per square meter of body-surface area and intravenous infused in 1 hr at day 1rt), Cisplatin(at a dose of 75 mg per square meter of body-surface area and intravenous infused in 1 hr at day 1rt) and Fluorouracil(at a dose of 75 mg per square meter of body-surface area and intravenous infused last 5 days) . For other types of cancer,the treatments will be administrated in accord with the guideline.In addition,Ultrasound Hyperthermia will be conducted 5 times(day 1rt,3rd,5th,7th,9th) in Arm A. Patients in arm B will receive chemotherapy only. One cycle comprises a period of 3 weeks (21 days).All patients will receive 2 cycles in both arms. All the patients eligible for the operation will take surgery. After treatment,some patients with advanced unresectable cancer may be down-staged from stage IV, and will regain the opportunity of operation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ultrasound Hyperthermia and Docetaxel,Cisplatin,Fluorouracil in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Wei Guo at 1 site in China.

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 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2015. 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 China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wei Guo, PhD (086-13901685814, guoweicn@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Disease Control (time frame: one year). 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 2 Feb 2015.
