- NCT02633176
- Lead Sponsor
- Sun Yat-sen University
- Brief Summary
This is a Phase Ⅲ randomized, controlled, multi-center, trial comparing cisplatin plus docetaxel to cetuximab, cisplatin, and docetaxel induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation in previously untreated patients metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (mNPC) to determine whether the addition of cetuximab to induction chemotherapy and chemoradiation could improve therapeutic efficacy in mNPC, and investigate predictive and prognostic factors for mNPC.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-free survival From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, date of death from any cause, or date of last assessment, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years Progression-free survival was defined as the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, date of death from any cause, or date of last assessment, whichever came first. All eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Event-free Survival From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, date of death from any cause, date of introduction of a new treatment, or date of last assessment, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years. Event-free survival was defined as the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, date of death from any cause, date of introduction of a new treatment without evidence of progression or relapse, or date of last assessment, whichever came first. All eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.
Overall Survival From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, or date of last assessment, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years. Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization until the date of death from any cause, or date of last assessment, whichever came first. All eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.
Overall response rate every 6 weeks, up to 5 years. Tumor response was assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Overall response rate= complete response + partial response. Tumor measurements were performed using physical examination, computer tomography (CT) or Positron Emission Tomography-Computer Tomography (PET-CT) scans and Magnetic Resonance Imaging （MRI） scans, which were consist with baseline measurements methods.
Disease-free Survival From date of attainment a complete response until the date of first documented relapse, date of death from NPC or treatment-related toxicities, or date of last assessment, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years. Disease-free survival was defined as the time from date of attainment a complete response until the date of first documented relapse, date of death from NPC or treatment-related toxicities, or date of last assessment, whichever came first. All eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.
