Detailed Description

Adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs) constitute of 1% of head and neck cancers. This type of tumor grows slowly with a high potential of local recurrence. Approximately 50% of patients develop distant metastases, and 33% patients die within 2 years. The initial therapy of these malignancies consists of surgical resection followed by radiotherapy. Systemic therapy is crucial in the management of recurrent and metastatic disease. However, nowadays, there were no standard chemoimmunotherapy regimes. Previous report showed that overall response rate was only less than 10% using single-agent chemotherapies, and the best results were achieved by cisplatin. Chidamide is a new benzamide class of histone deacetylase inhibitor with marked antitumor activity. And a phase I study has showed that one of three patients with submandibular adenoid cystic carcinoma achieved a partial response treated with Chidamide. The investigators conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of Chidamide combined with cisplatin in recurrent or metastatic head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma, in order to find a potential promising way to treat this kind of disease.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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
Overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Defined as numbers of patients achieved complete response and patial response of treatment
6 weeks

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 (DCR)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Defined as numbers of patients achieved complete response, patial response, and stable disease of treatment
6 weeks
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression or death
6 weeks
Scoring of quality of life: EORTC-QLQ-30
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Quality of life was evaluated using EORTC-QLQ-30. All subscales are summed to compute a total score, and total scores are recorded. Lower scores represent a better outcome.
6 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
