16 januari 2017 bijgewerkt door: TTY Biopharm
A Phase II Study Assessing the Efficacy of Prophylaxis Use of Megestrol Acetate Against Cancer-related Critical Body Weight Loss in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Who Receiving Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the population prevalence of critical body weight loss ( more than 5% from baseline) in patients with Head and Neck cancer.
Secondary Objectives:
To evaluate the impact of appetite, and performance status; To evaluate the change of quality of life (QoL); To evaluate the incidence of infection and hospitalization; To evaluate the safety profiles

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Hypothesis testing will be used to determine the patient number in this study.
According to a preliminary data at CGMH-LK, the investigators have the untreated patients with population prevalence of critical weight loss that is 0.56, and the investigators assume the study treated population prevalence is 0.4, power set in 0.9, alpha set in 0.05.

Impact of performance status
Tijdsspanne: 12 weeks
|
The assessment of appetite will be performed before the entry of the study, and then repeated every visit until end of study.
The measurement will base on ECOG performance status scale(please refer Appendix I).
The Differences from baseline status will be assessed, and results will be presented in percentages of improved patients out of those treated at the time of evaluation.

|
Change of quality of life (QoL)
Tijdsspanne: 12 weeks
|
Quality of life (QOL) will be evaluated since patient registration to off study by means of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck (FACT-.
H&N), Version 4 (Traditional Chinese) (please refer Appendix III).
The questionnaire will be completed under the assistance of a trained study nurse.
|
12 weeks

|
Incidence of infection and hospitalization
Tijdsspanne: 12 weeks
|
If any patient in the study period (3 months) suffer infection or hospitalization, that should be recorded on Case Report Form for the descriptive statistics analysis.

|
Safety profiles (percentage of patients with at least one occurrence of preferred term will be included, according to the most severe NCI-CTCAE v4.03 grade)
Tijdsspanne: 12 weeks
|
