December 8, 2013 updated by: Li Zhang, Sun Yat-sen University

Phase II Study of Combination of Sorafenib With Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil as First-line Treatment of Recurrence After Radiotherapy Patients Who Are Failure of Radiotherapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)

This study is a phase II clinical study. Recurrence after radiotherapy patients who are failure of radiotherapy in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were treated by cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil with Sorafenib as first-line treatment. The objective response(complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)), Disease Control Rate , safety profile, tolerability will be evaluated according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

Phase

Phase

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective response rate (CR+PR)
Time Frame: January 2009 to May 2011
In the ITT analysis(n=54), the ORR reached 77.8%: one patient (1.9%) experienced CR; 41 (75.9%), PR.
January 2009 to May 2011

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease control rate
Time Frame: January 2009 to May 2011
The disease control rate (DCR) was 90.8%.
