Study of Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Cetuximab in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01271439
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

This is an open, multicenter phase Ⅱ clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute toxicity and efficacy of cetuximab (C225) combined with IMRT + neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced T stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Besides, to figure out the relationship between patient outcome and EGFR gene copy number, expression and mutation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
3 Month Complete Response Rate + Partial Response Rate3 Months

According to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) criteria, Complete response was defined as disappearance of all target lesions, Partial response was defined as at least a 30% reduction in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
One-year locoregional control rate1 year

locoregional control rate: from the time when finish treatment to persistence or recurrence in the nasopharyngeal and/or cervical region.

Three-year locoregional control rate3 years

locoregional control rate: from the time when finish treatment to persistence or recurrence in the nasopharyngeal and/or cervical region.

One-year disease free survival rate1 year

disease free survival rate: from the time when finish treatment to first failure at any site.

Three-year disease free survival rate3 years

disease free survival rate: from the time when finish treatment to first failure at any site.

One-year overall survival rate1 year

overall survival rate: from the time when finish treatment to death of any cause.

Three-year overall survival rate3 years

overall survival rate: from the time when finish treatment to death of any cause.

The relationship between 3 years overall survival rate and expression of EGFR3 years

all patients must have sufficient pretreatment tumor biopsy specimens.

Use EORTC QLQ-C30(version 3.0) and EORTC QLQ-H&N35(Version 1.0) to access the quality of life3 years

collect date before treatment, the week using neoadjuvant chemotherapy, every week during radiotherapy, 6 months and every year after all treatment finished.

The relationship between 3 years overall survival rate and amplification of EGFR3 years

all patients must have sufficient pretreatment tumor biopsy specimens.

The relationship between 3 years overall survival rate and mutation of EGFR3 years
