Trial Outcomes & Findings for Radiation Therapy, Amifostine, and Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients With Newly Diagnosed Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NCT NCT00274937)

NCT ID: NCT00274937

Last Updated: 2022-10-25

Results Overview

The two-year event-free survival will be compared with a standard established from adult oncology data and the results of POG-9486. The two-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of event-free survival will be compared with 70% using a 1-sided test of size 0.05 using the asymptotic distribution of the complementary log-log distribution of the estimate.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Two Year After Enrollment

Population: No patients were enrolled to Stratum 1.

The two-year event-free survival will be compared with a standard established from adult oncology data and the results of POG-9486. The two-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of event-free survival will be compared with 70% using a 1-sided test of size 0.05 using the asymptotic distribution of the complementary log-log distribution of the estimate.

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 years

Population: Funding was not obtained and results will never be reported.

The prognostic value of the presence of EBV DNA will be assessed using the log-rank test, adjusted by initial stage of disease, if appropriate. The proposed analysis will take place at the analytic endpoint of the clinical trial.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At study enrollment

Population: Twenty-six patients in stratum 2 were evaluated at both study enrollment and at the end of consolidation for the weight of stimulated saliva production. This outcome measure was only collected for patients in Stratum 2.

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 1 and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-4. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses. In weeks 10-18, patients undergo radiation therapy and receive amifostine trihydrate as in stratum I. Patients also receive 3 courses of cisplatin as before. amifostine trihydrate: Given subcutaneously fluorouracil: Given IV cisplatin: Given IV laboratory biomarker analysis: Correlative studies radiation therapy: Undergo radiotherapy
