研究概览

简要总结

This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, therapeutic confirmatory multicentre trial with 4 parallel treatment groups. The design is adaptive group-sequential with two interim analyses, possible sample size re-estimation after the first or second interim analysis and drop-the-loser approach. The study design was primarily chosen to show superior efficacy of Tepilta® compared to the single components and to placebo. Evaluation of safety is a secondary objective.

详细描述

Tepilta® Suspension is indicated for treatment of pain in the upper digestive system induced by radiation therapy, in particular for radiation-induced oesophagitis.

入选标准

  • Male or female ≥ 18 years.
  • Score = 0 on NRS for oesophageal pain.
  • Radiotherapy (RT) or combined radio-chemotherapy (RCT) of a solid tumour in head/neck/thorax region. A minimum length of 5 cm of the oesophagus must be included in high-dose radiation field.
  • Duration of RT 5 to 8 weeks.
  • Single radiation dosage of fractionated RT 1.8 to 2.0 Gy/day, of intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) 1.5 to 2.3 Gy/day, each for 5 days a week (single frequency deviations are allowed presuming that intended duration of RT remains 5 to 8 weeks).
  • First radiation in the intended radiation area.
  • Written informed consent.
  • Randomisation criteria:
  • Appearance of oesophageal pain as follows: Score ≥ 2 on Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain during main daily meals is reached at least once.
  • At least 20 Gy of the dose of radiation therapy in oesophageal area remaining.
  • Oesophageal symptoms of grade ≤ 2a according to the adapted Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events CTCAE.

排除标准

  • History of allergic reaction to the study medication or its excipients (i.e. aluminium or magnesium hydroxide, oxetacaine, any other ingredient of study medication).
  • Pregnancy, breast-feeding or planned pregnancy during the study.
  • Known hypermagnesaemia.
  • Known hypophosphataemia.
  • Clinically significant obstipation, as judged by the investigator.
  • Acute appendicitis.
  • Total intended radiation dose at lips and the anterior oral cavity > 60% of total intended radiation dose at the swallowing process (pharynx, oesophagus).
  • Hyper-fractionated RT.
  • Intended naso-gastral tubes.
  • Primary tumour of the cranial base, brain, oral cavity, lips, naso-pharynx, para-nasal sinuses.
  • Known bone metastases.
  • Reflux oesophagitis 3 months prior to the study.
  • Continuous systemic pain treatment at the beginning of RT. Systemic pain medication for oesophagitis prior to randomisation must not be taken.
  • Concomitant treatment with tetracyclines, cinolone derivatives (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin), cheno-desoxycholic acid, sodium fluoride, local anaesthetics (other than those used as study medication).
  • Patients relying on levothyroxine after resection of thyroid carcinoma being hypothyroid and patients relying on levothyroxine due to other reasons not being euthyroid.
  • Artificial nutrition at the beginning of radiation.
  • Drug (licit and illicit) or alcohol abuse which would interfere with the patient's proper completion of the study.
  • Exposure to an investigational product within the last 4 weeks, simultaneous exposure to another investigational product.
  • Lack of ability or willingness to give informed consent.
  • Anticipated non-availability for study visits / procedures.
  • Lack of ability or willingness to keep patient's diary.
  • Lack of willingness to have personal study related data collected, archived or transmitted according to the protocol.
  • Vulnerable subjects.
