Trial Outcomes & Findings for Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Chemoradiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer (NCT NCT01716195)

NCT ID: NCT01716195

Last Updated: 2021-02-26

Results Overview

Defined from date of registration to date of first documentation of progression and/or distant metastasis, or death due to any cause. The true 2-year progression-free survival rate will be estimated by the proportion of efficacy-evaluable patients on study without documentation of disease progression or death 2 years from registration. A 95% confidence interval (CI) for the true progression-free survival rate will be constructed using the Duffy-Santner approach. However, Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate the final 2-year progression-free survival rate and its 95% CI in case there are censored patients.

Measure
Response Adapted Chemoradiation
Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 + Carboplatin area under curve (AUC) 6 followed by response adapted Radiation Therapy (5 - 6 weeks) + Paclitaxel Induction Chemotherapy followed by Response Adapted Chemoradiation: All patients receive induction chemotherapy with 2 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by response adapted, de-escalated chemoradiation. Patients with a complete or partial response will receive 54 Gy with concurrent paclitaxel and patients with stable disease will receive 60 Gy with concurrent paclitaxel.
