Trial Outcomes & Findings for ACTOplus Met XR in Treating Patients With Stage I-IV Oral Cavity or Oropharynx Cancer Undergoing Definitive Treatment (NCT NCT02917629)

NCT ID: NCT02917629

Last Updated: 2023-03-08

Results Overview

Baseline, post-exposure, absolute change in Ki-67, and difference in absolute change between the ACTOplus met XR and placebo subjects will all be summarized with descriptive statistics. Ki-67 is a semi-quantitative immune-histochemistry analysis in which a computer generates an analysis based on the staining within tumor and normal cells leading to a score which is an indirect measure of cellular proliferation. Will compare the difference in absolute change in Ki-67 between the ACTOplus met XR and placebo arms using a two sided two-sample Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, as appropriate, at a significance level of 0.05.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to days 11-22

Population: Pre- and post-treatment RNA-seq data was available in four ACTOplus treated participants and one placebo treated participant. Because of this, a comparison between the treatment arms was not deemed to be possible or useful. What was attempted was an analysis of change from baseline values for the ACTOplus met® XR arm.

Will be summarized for baseline, post-exposure, and absolute change by treatment arm using the appropriate descriptive statistics, and will be evaluated with Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
