简要总结

RATIONALE: Giving fluconazole may be effective in preventing or controlling mucositis caused by radiation therapy to the head and neck.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to study the effectiveness of fluconazole in preventing mucositis in patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the effect of prophylactic antifungal therapy with fluconazole on the incidence and severity of radiation-associated mucositis/thrush in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing definitive radiotherapy.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo standard hyperfractionated radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5-5.6 weeks. Patients receive oral fluconazole on days 1-4 and 28-31 of radiotherapy.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo radiotherapy as in arm I. Patients who develop a microbiologically proven fungal infection or clinically evident oral cavity and/or oropharyngeal thrush may receive fluconazole as in arm I.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: At least 42 patients (26 per arm) will be accrued for this study.
