About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Induction Chemotherapy With Cisplatin and Capecitabine Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

To prospectively evaluate the short-term efficacy and toxicity of induction chemotherapy with cisplatin and capecitabine followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

All patients received 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy:cisplatin 80mg/m2, day 1; oral capecitabine 1000mg/m2 twice daily from day1-14, repeated every 3 weeks followed by concomitant cisplatin (100mg/m2,day1,every 3 weeks) for a total of 2 cycles with radiotherapy. Intensity-modified radiotherapy (IMRT) were used in all patients with the total dose and dose/fraction (Fr) as follows: PTV (planned target volume)_1:70 grays (Gy) at 2 Gy/ Fr, PTV_2:63 Gy at 1.8 Gy/ Fr, PTV_3:56 Gy at 1.6 Gy/ Fr;5 fractions per week. Tumor response was evaluated after 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy and 16 weeks following completion of CCRT according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST1.1). All toxicities were gauged based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 (CTCAE 4.03).

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS (progression free survival)

    progression free survival

    Measured: From date of first treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, capecitabine in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

PFS (progression free survival) (time frame: From date of first treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 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 9 Feb 2018.
