Trial summary

Oral cancer is the single largest cancer in males in India. 90-95% cases of oral cancer are Squamous cell carcinomas and many of them present at late stages (T3 and above). Treatment of OSCC includes single modality surgery, radiotherapy, or combinations of these modalities with or without systemic therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessing Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy as a Treatment Plan for Patients With Stage IVa Oral Cancer.

Oral cancer is the single largest cancer in males in India. 90-95% cases of oral cancer are Squamous cell carcinomas and many of them present at late stages (T3 and above). Treatment of OSCC includes single modality surgery, radiotherapy, or combinations of these modalities with or without systemic therapy. For unresectable cases, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is the treatment modality. Efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resectable stage IV tumors (late stage) needs to be evaluated to assess its benefit before surgery.

Read the detailed description

This study will assess the benefit of preoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with an Stage IVa oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The study population will consist of patients who have not been treated previously. Patients satisfying the inclusion-exclusion criteria will be included in the study after obtaining a valid, written and informed consent. After reviewing the histopathological report, the patients will be treated as per the study protocol. The patients will be under regular follow-up with 3 monthly intervals for a period of one year and 6 monthly period in the following years. At each follow-up, patients will be evaluated clinically for evidence of locoregional tumor recurrence. The locoregional recurrence-free survival will be calculated based on the difference between the date of inclusion and the date of biopsy-proven recurrence. We will also record the overall survival, parameters like trismus, osteonecrosis and xerostomia. Quality of life will be assessed at a regular interval of 1 year using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL v.4)

Study protocol:

  1. Preoperative radiotherapy over 5 weeks- Dose 180-200cgys per day/ total 4500 cgys
  2. Three weekly concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin 100 mg /m2
  3. Initial surgery in leg for Prefabrication of fibula - 2 weeks after starting of radiotherapy treatment. Delay is required for planning of implant position in the fibula.
  4. Definitive surgical procedure with reconstruction by prefabricated flap, 6 weeks post radiotherapy.
Being tested
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Neoadjuvant radiotherapy, Resection and reconstruction
Keywords
Oral neoplasms, Mouth neoplasms
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate

    This will be deduced from pathological response in terms of complete and partial response. Complete response is defined as no invasive and no in situ residuals present in the surgical specimen. Partial response defined as at least a 30% reduction in the size of the lesion in the surgical specimen.

    Measured: Upto 1 year

  2. Disease free survival

    Disease-free survival will be calculated as the time interval (months) between primary treatment and the first recurrence (whether local, regional or distant).

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival will be calculated as the time interval (months) between primary treatment and death.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of life assessment

    Patient reported quality of life will be assessed at a regular interval of 1 year using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL v.4). The minimum score is 0 which is indicative of worse outcome while 100 is the maximum score and indicative of better outcome. Various parameters including chewing, pain, swallowing, saliva, appearance etc. are included in the questionnaire. Average score for each parameter with standard deviation will be reported.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and Resection and reconstruction in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Cavity, run by Indrayani Hospital and Cancer Institute at 1 site in India.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 23 Apr 2019. 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 India. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Objective response rate (time frame: Upto 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Apr 2019.
