What is being measured

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

  1. PFS (progression free survival)

    PFS is calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of treatment failure or death from any cause, whichever is first.

    Measured: 3-year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival is calculated from the date of randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: 3-year

  2. Locoregional failure-free survival

    Locoregional failure-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the first locoregional failure.

    Measured: 3-year

  3. Distant failure-free survival

    Distant failure-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the first remote failure.

    Measured: 3-year

  4. QoL(quality of life)

    Changes in quality of life were assessed by EORTC C30; QLQ-H\&N35 (V1.0)

    Measured: 3-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine in people with Head and Neck Neoplasms, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital 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 9 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 19 Sep 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 Xiaozhong Chen, MD (+86-571-88128202, cxzfyun@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS (progression free survival) (time frame: 3-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 19 Sep 2018.
