Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Induction chemotherapy is regarded as an effective way to reduce or downgrade the locally advanced or aggressive cancers, and to improve the chance of eradication of the locoregional lesions by radical surgery and/or radiotherapy. However, there are still debates on the clinical value of induction chemotherapy for patients with advanced and resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma. The hypothesis of this study is that the induction chemotherapy of TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil) protocol could benefit the patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma. The endpoints of this study are the survival rate, local control, and safety.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary endpoint of this study is the survival rate (2, 3, 5 years) after induction chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy. The second endpoint of this study is locoregional control rates (1, 2 years), and the safety.

TPF induction chemotherapy

Induction chemotherapy before surgery: docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TPF induction chemotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Docetaxel (at a dose of 75mg/m2 of body surface area) was administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion, followed by intravenous cisplatin (75 mg/m2), administered during a period of 2 to 3 hours. After completion of the cisplatin infusion, 5-Fu (750 mg/m2/day) was administered during a period at least 8 hours for 5 days. Induction chemotherapy was given every 3 weeks for 2 cycles, unless there was disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or withdrawal of consent by the patient.
