Nedaplatin in Treatment for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Induction Chemotherapy With Nedaplatin, Docetaxel and 5-Fluorouracil Followed by Concurrent Nedaplatin and Radiotherapy in Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: a Single Arm, Open Label, Multicenter, Phase II Clinical Study.

To evaluate the efficacy of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin, docetaxel and 5-Fluorouracil followed by concurrent nedaplatin combined with radical radiotherapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin, docetaxel and 5-Fluorouracil followed by concurrent nedaplatin combined with radical radiotherapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. This is a multicenter study. All patients will be enrolled in endemic area. All patients will receive radical intense modulate radiation therapy (IMRT). The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
objective response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: at the end of radiotherapy(±1week)
CR+PR
at the end of radiotherapy(±1week)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival(OS)
Time Frame: 3 years
The OS was defined as the duration from the date of beginning of treatment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.
3 years
Progress-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
Progress-free survival is calculated from the date of beginning of treatment to the date of locoregional failure, distant failure, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
3 years
Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival(LRRFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
Relapse-free survival was defined as the time from beginning of treatment to local or regional relapse, or death from any cause.
3 years
Distant metastasis-Free Survival(DMFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
Distant metastasis-free survival was defined as the time from beginning of treatment to distant metastasis, or death from any cause.
3 years
Quality of life (QoL)
Time Frame: 3 years
Quality of life (QoL) was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire module for head and neck (EORTC QLQ-H&N35). The EORTC QLQ-H&N35 scale employs a 4-point response format ("not at all" to "very much"). Scale scores are transformed to a scale from 0 to 100 according to the EORTC scoring algorithm. For the functioning and the global QoL scale, a higher score indicates better health. For the symptom scales, a higher score indicates a higher level of symptom burden. Either English or Chinese version will be used according to patient's language habits.
