About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy Observation of Demethylated Drug Decitabine in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

The study is to observe the efficacy and toxicity of demethylating drug decitabine and cisplatin induced chemotherapy for 3 cycles followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma,followed up for 2 years, observing the 2-year survival rate and variation of degrees of methylation before and after treatment,providing clinical basis for the clinical study of stage II-III.

Read the detailed description

Recent studies and previous studies in the investigator's research group have found that nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a disease with hypermethylation changes, and epigenetic treatment has not yet been carried out in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In this study, Simon's two-stage design method was used to select 30 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, treated with demethylating drug decitabine 7mg/m2 d1-5 + cisplatin 80mg/m2 d1 induced chemotherapy for 3 cycles followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin 80mg/m2. observing the efficacy and toxicity of decitabine in the treatment of regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, followed up for 2 years, observing the 2-year survival rate,evluating the relationship between different degrees of methylation and survival before and after treatment,provide clinical basis for the clinical study of stage II-III.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Demethylated drug decitabine in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Wei Jiang at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 18 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 10 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Rongjun Zhang, Master (+86-18977330177, 41974954@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (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 10 Oct 2018.
