A Real-world Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Nimotuzumab in Combination With Chemoradiotherapy for LASCCHN (Redbull-1)

A Real-world Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Nimotuzumab in Combination With Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study is a retrospective real-world study. In this study, we plan to collect the clinical data of LASCCHN patients who received chemoradiotherapy combined with or without nimotuzumab .

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: nimotuzumab

Detailed Description

This study is a retrospective real-world study. The diagnosis and treatment of patients, disease management, and information collection are completely dependent on the daily medical practice. In this study, we plan to select 5 to 8 hospitals nationwide to collect the clinical data of LASCCHN patients who received chemoradiotherapy combined with or without nimotuzumab from January 2015 to December 2018. Patients included in the study will be followed up for survival. The main endpoint is 3-year overall survival (OS) rate; the secondary endpoint are 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate, 3-year Local-regional control (LRC) rate, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety.

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who were more than 18 years old, and were proved to be LASCCHN were included in this study. Patients in the control group receive chemoradiotherapy, while patients in the study group received nimotuzumab on the basis of chemoradiotherapy.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age ≥18 years old, no gender limitation;
• Histopathologically or cytologically proved to be phase III-IVb of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (including oral cancer, oropharynx cancer, hypopharynx cancer, larynx cancer, but except for nasopharyngeal carcinoma).
• Patients who received chemoradiotherapy combined with or without nimotuzumab from January 2015 to December 2018;
• Patients in the study group received nimotuzumab, while patients in the control group did not receive nimotuzumab. And patients in the control group were collected 3 times as many cases as the study group in each center. If the number of patients in the control group were less than 3 times of the study group, all cases were collected.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Complicated with primary malignancies other than head and neck tumors (except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix);
• Patients received other targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or Traditional Chinese medicine with anti-tumor effect, along with the application of nimotuzumab;
• Lack of critical evaluation information.
