About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Endostar With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in the Treatment of Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)

A total of 300 patients with pathologically confirmed Locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 150 patients in each group. One group was treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy combined with Endostar and the other group was treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy. The short term efficacy and the toxic and side effects of these treatments were evaluated. The 1-year, 3-year, 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival of patients were analyzed. The investigators data may provide an alternative option for the treatment of Locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with high efficacy and low toxicity.

Read the detailed description

This study was a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. A set of unified standards were used, including the clinical research program, inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, chemoradiotherapy regimen and evaluation criteria. Five medical centers participated in this study and 300 patients with pathologically confirmed Locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were enrolled. These patients were stratified according to clinical stage and participating center, and were randomly divided into two groups: concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with Endostar group ( IMRT 70-74Gy, Endostar 7.5mg / m2, 3 cycles of intravenous infusion, and 2 cycles of maintenance therapy after radiotherapy) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy group ( IMRT 70-74Gy, DDP 100mg / m2, intravenous infusion over 2 hours , for 2-3 cycles). After treatment, follow-up was performed every 3 months. The treatment toxicity, local control rate, distant metastasis-free survival, overall survival, progression-free survival were observed and assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3-year Progression Free Survival

    The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group A: concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with Endostar,including 3 cycles of intravenous infusion, and 2 cycles of maintenance therapy after radiotherapy,and Group B: concurrent chemoradiotherapy, concurrent chemotherapy for 2 or 3 cycles. After treatment, the subjects go into observation period. MRI will be used for evaluating the carcinoma status. During 3 years, any relapse or death will be recorded.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 5-year Overall Survival

    The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group A: concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with Endostar,including 3 cycles of intravenous infusion, and 2 cycles of maintenance therapy after radiotherapy,and Group B: concurrent chemoradiotherapy, concurrent chemotherapy for 2 or 3 cycles. After treatment, the subjects go to observation period for 5 years.

    Measured: 5 years

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 10 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 20 Sep 2016. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact min kang, doctor (0086-0771-5356509, km1019@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

3-year Progression Free Survival (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT02907710, which also lists 7 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 20 Sep 2016.
