Trial Outcomes & Findings for Capecitabine or 5-FU With Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b in Unresectable/Metastatic Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (NCT NCT02218164)

NCT ID: NCT02218164

Last Updated: 2022-10-07

Results Overview

ORR: Stable Disease (SD); Partial Response (PR); Complete Response (CR). Response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions; SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

Measure
Capecitabine or 5-FU With Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b
Capecitabine pills on day 1 thru day 14 and be off for 7 days (day 15-day 21). 5-FU days 1-4 of each 21 day cycle. Interferon alpha-2b injection weekly every week. 3 week period is referred to as one cycle. After 3 cycles, new imaging studies will be performed to measure how the disease is responding to treatment. Participants whose disease is stable or improved will undergo an additional 3 cycles of therapy and the imaging studies will be repeated. Again, participants whose disease is stable or improved will undergo a final 3 cycles of treatment (a total 27 weeks of treatment).
