About this study

Official title: Observational Study Evaluating the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Management of Patients With Head and Neck Cancer in the Maxillofacial Surgery Department

Since its emergence in late December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has spread rapidly, causing a global health crisis. The disease caused by this highly contagious respiratory virus is called COVID-19. At the beginning of August 2020, there were more than 194,000 confirmed cases in France - including approximately 16,000 cases in the Hauts-de-France area - and more than 30,300 deaths.

Cancer patients are generally susceptible to respiratory infections, and CoV-2-SARS is no exception. Early Chinese studies reported a higher rate of CoV-2-SARS infection in people with cancer (or a history of cancer) than in the general population, with more severe forms and with an increased risk if surgery or chemotherapy is performed in the month prior to infection. The purpose of this study is to describe the management modalities of patients with H\&N (Head and Neck) cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of CHU Amiens-Picardie.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Cancer and Covid19, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 10 Feb 2023. 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 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?

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?

Variation of delay (in days) between the first cancer consultation and the beginning of the first line of treatment (time frame: 6 months). 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 Feb 2023.
