简要总结

RATIONALE: Cevimeline may be effective in treating dry mouth that is caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It is not yet known if cevimeline is more effective than no therapy in treating dry mouth caused by radiation therapy.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of cevimeline in treating patients who have dryness of the mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the efficacy of cevimeline vs placebo, in terms of dryness of the oral cavity and salivary flow, in patients with xerostomia secondary to radiotherapy for cancers in the head and neck region.
  • Assess the safety of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral cevimeline 3 times daily for 12 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo as in arm I.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 280 patients (140 per arm) will be accrued for this study.
