Trial summary

Sarcopenia is defined by the reduction in skeletal muscle mass and physical performance. It results in a decrease in muscle strength, overall physical activity, walking and the development of balance disorders and falls. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Prevalence of Sarcopenia by CT Scan in Patients Diagnosed With Head & Neck Carcinoma

Sarcopenia is defined by the reduction in skeletal muscle mass and physical performance. It results in a decrease in muscle strength, overall physical activity, walking and the development of balance disorders and falls. It is one of the natural consequences of aging and contributes to frailty and the appearance of geriatric syndrome (s) (Chandapasirt et al, 2015; Cruz-Jentoft et al, 2010).

Its prevalence in patients with Head \& Neck cancer is 39% (Hua et al, 2020) and is associated with an increase in postoperative complications (Achim et al, 2017; Bril et al, 2019), with greater toxicity of chemotherapy. (Wendrich et al, 2017) and reduced overall survival (Hua et al, 2020).

It is measured by CT scan (assessment of muscle volume with respect to L3 using IMAGE J software) (Teigen et al, 2018) and by clinical tests (performance tests) (Swartz et al, 2016, Cruz-Jentoft et al, 2010).

Several studies have shown a possible assessment of sarcopenia by measuring skeletal muscle mass with regard to C3 (Ufuk et al, 2019; Swartz et al, 2016).

This trial aims to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia in head and neck cancer evaluated by CT at C3.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the prevalence of sarcopenia by cervical CT scan (C3)

    Number of patients with sarcopenia at diagnosis and during treatments

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Assessment of hypoalbuminemia

    Number of patients presenting an hypoalbuminemia.

    Measured: 6 month

  2. De- and undernutrition

    Number of patients with a BMI <18 and with a prescription for nutritional complements.

    Measured: 6 month

  3. Compliance to the treatment

    Number of patients having the complete planned treatment

    Measured: 6 months

  4. complete response rate

    Number of patients with a complete response on the end-of-treatment evaluation scanner according to the RECIST or PERCIST criteria in the numerator out of the total number of patients in the denominator

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Assessment of hospitalizations treatment-related complications

    Number of hospitalizations per patient for treatment-related complications

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcopenia and Cancer of Head and Neck, run by Weprom 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 8 Oct 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Magali BALAVOINE (241682940 ext. 0033, m.balavoine@weprom.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of the prevalence of sarcopenia by cervical CT scan (C3) (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 8 Oct 2021.
