About this study
Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial for Comparing Endonasal Surgery and Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for T1-T2 Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
This study is a multicenter RCT to compare 3-year overall survival(OS) rate, progression free survival(PFS),local progression free survival(LPFS),regional progression free survival(RPFS),distant metastasis free survival(DMFS), and toxicities of endonasal endoscopic surgery versus IMRT.
Read the detailed description
Local and regional recurrence is a common cause of failure after primary radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy and surgery are the treatments of choice for recurrent NPC. This study aims to compare 3 year overall survival(OS) rate of surgery versus IMRT.A stratified-block randomized approach will be used to randomly assign patients into two treatment groups after stratification according to N staging (N0 vs non-N0). Patients with rNPC will be recruited and randomized into two groups in 1:1 ratio. The primary outcomes will be 3 year overall survival(OS), the secondary outcome measures will be PFS,LPFS,RPFS,DMFS,and toxicities.Assessment will be performed at baseline and during 3 years post-randomization.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing endonasal endoscopic surgery and radiation therapy(IMRT) in people with Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University at 3 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 11 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 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 phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Contact Xiaole Song, MD (+86 15821388769, jxfxsxl@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
3 year Overall Survival (OS) rate (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,through study completion,up to 3 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 23 Feb 2021.
