Trial Outcomes & Findings for Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Erlotinib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (NCT NCT01064479)

NCT ID: NCT01064479

Last Updated: 2024-07-16

Results Overview

Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to summarize PFS. In the primary analysis, differences in PFS in Arm A versus Arm B will be tested using a stratified log-rank test with a two-sided alpha of 0.10. Hazard ratios for PFS will be presented using point estimates and 95% confidence intervals.

Participant Flow

Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic or recurrent SCCHN of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx who have an ECOG performance status of 0-2, measurable disease and no prior chemotherapy for their metastatic or recurrent disease were enrolled

123 participants registered-4 participants were inevaluable (2 refused not due to toxicity, 2 other).

Participant milestones
Measure
Arm A (Combination Chemotherapy and Erlotinib Hydrochloride)
Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 2 hours or carboplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and erlotinib hydrochloride PO daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response, partial response, or stable disease may continue erlotinib hydrochloride treatment.
Arm B (Combination Chemotherapy and Placebo)
Patients receive docetaxel and cisplatin or carboplatin as in Arm I and placebo PO daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response, partial response, or stable disease may continue placebo treatment.
