Trial summary

Cervical nodal metastasis is the most certain prognostic factor in oral cancer. Appropriate management of the neck is therefore of paramount importance in the treatment of oral cancer. However, there is still some controversy on the treatment of early maxillofacial malignancies. Read more about this study

About this study

Cervical nodal metastasis is the most certain prognostic factor in oral cancer. Appropriate management of the neck is therefore of paramount importance in the treatment of oral cancer. However, there is still some controversy on the treatment of early maxillofacial malignancies. Currently, investigators have no accurate uniform treatment standards, including the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommended between surgery and radiotherapy options. Clinical evaluation indicated that lymph node-negative patients eventually 25%-35% had cervical node metastasis. Therefore, for the majority of patients with true node-negative, preventive cervical lymph node dissection is obviously over-treatment, and lower quality of life. Radiotherapy can avoid such surgery.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To evaluate the effect of radiotherapy on the neck of early oral cancer with poor pathologic factors.

This is a randomized, prospective, open, multicenter study. Intervention: Patients receive primary tumor resection followed by radiotherapy.

Control: Patients receive primary tumor resection with selective neck dissection.

Primary:

2 years neck control rates

Secondary:

Disease-free survival (1, 2, 3, 5 years) Overall survival (3, 5 years) Quality of life

Endpoint definition:

1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years disease-free survival is defined as: patients proportion from the date of surgery completion to 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years did not find clear evidence of recurrence or metastasis.

3 years, 5 years overall survival is defined as: the proportion of patients who survived from the beginning of the study to the third and fifth year in the total enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Radiotherapy and Elective neck dissection in people with Oral Cancer, run by Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University 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 7 inclusion and 17 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 11 Jan 2017. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Chenping ZHANG, Ph.D (+86-21-63136856, zhang.chenping@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Neck control rates (time frame: 2 years). 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 11 Jan 2017.
