About this study
Official title: Double-blind Multicenter Phase III Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of an Oral Immunomodulatory Nutrient on Survival During Postoperative Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
The investigators designed a prospective randomized double-blind trial to determine if the oral immunomodulating formula could improve the disease-free survival rate in high-risk locally-advanced head and neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma patients treated with Chemoradiotherapy.
Read the detailed description
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy on disease-free survival of a formula enriched with L-arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and ribonucleic acids, taken for 5 days before each cycle of chemotherapy, in patients with high-risk locally-advanced HNSCC treated with postoperative concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CRT).
This study is a national, multicentric double blinded, randomised phase III trial. A total of 306 patients (102 patients in group control vs 204 patients in group Oral Impact®) will be required including 10% of lost-to-follow-up patients.
An immunomodulating oral supplementation compound (Oral Impact®) is compared to an isocaloric isonitrogenous control. The compound to be assessed contains 334kcal/bag and 18.1g of proteins, as well as immunomodulatory nutrients such as L-Arginine, RNA and omega-3. The control has the same formula to that of the Oral Impact®, but not enriched with specific nutrients. Each patient has to take Oral Impact® or a sip feed control during 5 days before each cycle of chemotherapy.
DFS will be measured from the time of randomization to the time of the first evidence of progression (local, regional, metastatic, or second primary) or death from any cause. Patients alive without carcinologic event were censored at last follow-up date.
Patients treated with postoperative CRT are expected to have a 2-year DFS rate of 60% without specific diet (pControl).
Including a ratio 1:2, an expected recruitment of 90 patients per year, the current study will require 131 events to detect an absolute improvement of 15% (HR=0.56, pExperimental=75%) with 0.90 statistical power using a two-sided test and a significance level of 0.05.
A total of 306 patients (102 vs 204) will be required including 10% of lost of follow-up patients.
The inclusion period would be 4 years, for an expected total duration of study about 8 years.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)
2-years DFS rate
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of the first documented progression (local, regional, metastatic) or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years.
Secondary outcomes (6)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS at 1, 2 and 3 years
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years.
Rate of drug compliance
the compliance is defined as the taking of more than 75 % of study product prescription
Measured: up to 45 days
Adverse events rate
graded based on NCI-CTCAE v4.03
Measured: until 3 months after radiotherapy
Quality of life by using the general quality of life questionnaire about cancer (QLQ-C30).
The EORTC QLQ-C30 uses for the questions 1 to 28 a 4-point scale. The scale scores from 1 to 4: 1 ("Not at all"), 2 ("A little"), 3 ("Quite a bit") and 4 ("Very much"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 3. For the raw score, less points are considered to have a better outcome.
The EORTC QLQ-C30 uses for the questions 29 and 30 a 7-points scale. The scale scores from 1 to 7: 1 ("very poor") to 7 ("excellent"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 6. First of all, raw score has to be calculated with mean values. Afterwards linear transformation is performed to be comparable. More points are considered to have a better outcome.
Measured: Quality of life will be assessed up to 2 years after the last day of radiotherapy.
Quality of life by using the specific quality of life questionnaire about head and neck cancer (HN35)
The EORTC HN35 uses a 4-point scale. The scale scores from 1 to 4: 1 ("Not at all"), 2 ("A little"), 3 ("Quite a bit") and 4 ("Very much"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 3. For the raw score, less points are considered to have a better outcome.
Measured: Quality of life will be assessed up to 2 years after the last day of radiotherapy.
Cachexia
Cachexia will be evaluated with weight (in kilograms)
Measured: Cachexia will be assessed up to 3 years after the last day of radiotherapy.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

This study is a national, multicentric double blinded, randomised phase III trial. A total of 306 patients (102 patients in group control vs 204 patients in group Oral Impact®) will be required including 10% of lost-to-follow-up patients.

The control has the same formula to that of the Oral Impact®, but not enriched with specific nutrients. Each patient has to take Oral Impact® or a sip feed control during 5 days before each cycle of chemotherapy.

Patients treated with postoperative CRT are expected to have a 2-year DFS rate of 60% without specific diet (pControl).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Immunomodulating oral supplementation in people with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle at 2 sites in France.
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 6 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2025. 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 France. 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.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of the first documented progression (local, regional, metastatic) or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04001543, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 12 Feb 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
