May 4, 2018 updated by: Jun Ma, MD, Sun Yat-sen University

Nedaplatin Versus Cisplatin and Capecitabine Versus Fluorouracil in Induction Chemotherapy Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced NPC： a Phase 3, Multicentre, Non-inferiority, Randomised Factorial Trial

This is a phase 3, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised factorial trial. The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy and safety of nedaplatin versus cisplatin, and capecitabine versus fluorouracil in induction docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (TPF) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin (P-RT) in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this study, patients with non-keratinizing NPC and staged III-IVA (except T3-4N0) are randomly assigned to one of the four groups: Group A: TPF+P-RT; Group B: TNF+N-RT; Group C: TPX+P-RT; Group D: TNX+N-RT. In induction chemotherapy, patients will receive docetaxel(60 mg/m2 on day 1), cisplatin or nedaplatin (60 mg/m2 on day 1) and fluorouracil (600 mg/m2 on Days 1 to 5) or capecitabine (625 mg/m2 bid, on Days 1 to 14) every three weeks for three cycles before the radical radiotherapy. Concurrent cisplatin or nedaplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1) was given every three weeks for two cycles during radiotherapy. Patients are stratified according to the treatment centers and stage. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points include overall survival (OS), distant failure-free survival (D-FFS), locoregional failure-free survival (LR-FFS), toxic effects, and quality of life (QOL). All efficacy analyses are conducted in the intention-to-treat population, and the safety population include only patients who receive their randomly assigned treatment.
