What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival(PFS)

    PFS was calculated as days from the date of registration until the earliest date of documented disease progression, death, or censoring event.

    Time frame: From the date of registration until the earliest date of documented disease progression, death, or censoring event.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Antitumor Activity

    Antitumor activity was evaluated by measuring the rate of objective response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. Per RECIST Criteria (V1.0) and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR)= CR + PR.", or similar text that was as accurate and appropriate.

    Time frame: Obtain a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis (if clinically indicated) within 28 days prior to study entry and repeat at the end of every 2 courses thereafter.

  2. Overall Survival

    Patient survival for both subgroups was followed up every 2 months until 28 Feb 2011.

    Time frame: 12 months after enrollment of the last patient

  3. Safety

    Toxicities were evaluated at each course of therapy using the CTCAE ver. 3.0 or a non-CTC grading scale for toxicities that were not covered by the NCI CTC.

    Time frame: Monitor patients for untoward medical events from the time of signed informed consent form, including toxicities from previous treatment and any ongoing or newly reported AEs or SAEs during the 30 days after the last dose of study medication.

Results

Posted Sep 5, 2012

Participant flow

The patient enrollment was started from 24/Sep/2008 and terminated as of 30/Sep/2010. In the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) subgroup and squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN) subgroup of stage 1, 13 and 14 patients were enrolled, respectively. For both subgroups subsequent enrollment was not reopened for the second stage, thus 27 patients were enrolled.
