Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04834206
Lead Sponsor
Affiliated Cancer Hospital & Institute of Guangzhou Medical University
Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin, docetaxel and 5-Fluorouracil followed by concurrent nedaplatin combined with radical radiotherapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin, docetaxel and 5-Fluorouracil followed by concurrent nedaplatin combined with radical radiotherapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. This is a multicenter study. All patients will be enrolled in endemic area. All patients will receive radical intense modulate radiation therapy (IMRT). The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR).

Primary Outcome Measures

objective response rate (ORR)at the end of radiotherapy(±1week)

CR+PR

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival(OS)3 years

The OS was defined as the duration from the date of beginning of treatment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

Distant metastasis-Free Survival(DMFS)3 years

Distant metastasis-free survival was defined as the time from beginning of treatment to distant metastasis, or death from any cause.

Progress-Free Survival (PFS)3 years

Progress-free survival is calculated from the date of beginning of treatment to the date of locoregional failure, distant failure, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival(LRRFS)3 years

Relapse-free survival was defined as the time from beginning of treatment to local or regional relapse, or death from any cause.

Quality of life (QoL)3 years

Quality of life (QoL) was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire module for head and neck (EORTC QLQ-H\&N35). The EORTC QLQ-H\&N35 scale employs a 4-point response format ("not at all" to "very much"). Scale scores are transformed to a scale from 0 to 100 according to the EORTC scoring algorithm. For the functioning and the global QoL scale, a higher score indicates better health. For the symptom scales, a higher score indicates a higher level of symptom burden. Either English or Chinese version will be used according to patient's language habits.
