About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multicenter, and Nonrandomized Phase II Clinical Study on the Treatment of Locally Advanced NPC By Comparing TPF Induction Chemotherapy Combined With Nimotuzumab Concurrent Radiotherapy and Cisplatin Concurrent Radio-chemotherapy

This study is aimed to investigate the short-term efficacy and toxicities of local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with TPF regimen induction chemotherapy combined with nimotuzumab concurrent radiotherapy and cisplatin concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Read the detailed description

TPF program is currently the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma commonly used inducing chemotherapy, cisplatin is the preferred drug for the same period chemotherapy, however, due to heavier gastrointestinal reactions caused by cisplatin, direct damage to renal parenchymal and other adverse reactions often lead to anti-tumor therapy can not be smooth Carried out, resulting in treatment failure, thus affecting the survival of patients.In this study, Phase II clinical trials were performed. Patients with locally advanced local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were nonrandomly divided into experimental group and control group.The trial group was treated with TPF regimen induction chemotherapy combined with nimotuzumab concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The control group was treated with TPF regimen induction chemotherapy combined with Cisplatin concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.observed and compared the efficacy and toxicity of the two treatment to assess its safety and patient tolerance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nimotuzumab and Cisplatin in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Guiyang Medical 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 9 inclusion and 5 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 Nov 2018. 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 Feng Jin, Bachelor (86-13985124806, jinf8865@yeah.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

National Cancer Institute CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: 1 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 Nov 2018.
