Study summary

Research Topic:

A prospective randomized controlled clinical study of albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with cisplatin (AP regimen) versus docetaxel combined with cisplatin (TP regimen) induced chemotherapy in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Expected study duration:

Each subject received a 3-week regimen of AP or TP over 2 cycles.

Research objectives:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy with albumin-bound paclitaxel in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC), two induction chemotherapy regimens, AP regimen and TP regimen, were compared.

Trial Design. Single center, open label, controlled clinical study Number of cases: 116 Objective response rate (ORR=CR+PR) was used as the main evaluation index in this study.

Read the detailed description

Research purposes:Research the effectiveness and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel for induction chemotherapy in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were evaluated,by comparing the AP regimen and the TP regimen .

Research content:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel for induction chemotherapy in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Study endpoint Primary endpoint: Objective response rate (ORR=CR+PR) (Assessed according to RECIST standards, see Annex 1) Secondary study endpoint: Surgical resection rate,Pathological remission rate,Progression-free survival (PFS), Overall survival (OS) Main safety indicators: Observe any adverse events that occurred in all subjects during the clinical study and within 1 month after stopping the drug, including clinical symptoms, abnormal vital signs, and abnormalities in laboratory examinations, and record their clinical features, Severity, time of occurrence, duration, treatment method and prognosis outcome, and determine its correlation with the study drug. The safety of the drug was evaluated according to the NCI-CTC AE 4.0 standard.

Study design:This is a single-center, open-label, controlled clinical study.The aime is observing and evaluating the effectiveness and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel for induction chemotherapy in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This study is planned to be carried out in Tianjin Cancer Hospital. According to the research principles of GCP.

The study plans to recruit 116 qualified subjects. This study used objective response rate (ORR=CR+PR) as the main evaluation index. According to previous reports, the ORR of the TP group was 50%, and the ORR of the AP group was estimated to be 75%. The test level is set to 0.05 on one side, the test power is set to 0.8, and the estimated dropout rate is 20%. Using the Logrank-Lakatos algorithm, the total sample size is calculated to be 116 cases.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with cisplatin (AP regimen)

    Paclitaxel (albumin combined type) 260 mg/m2, intravenous drip, d1, every three weeks for a cycle, a total of dosing 2 cycles; Cisplatin: 75 mg/m2, intravenous drip, d1, every three weeks for a cycle, a total of dosing 2 cycles;

    Drug: albumin-bound paclitaxel

  • Active comparator
    docetaxel combined with cisplatin (TP regimen)

    docetaxel: 75 mg/m2, intravenous drip, d1, every three weeks for a cycle, a total of dosing 2 cycles; cisplatin: 75 mg/m2, d1 every three weeks for a cycle, a total of dosing 2 cycles;

    Drug: albumin-bound paclitaxel

Interventions

  • Drugalbumin-bound paclitaxel

    Paclitaxel for injection (albumin-bound) uses human serum albumin as the carrier to avoid the use of organic solvents for intravenous injection of paclitaxel, reducing the incidence of allergic reactions, and reducing the toxicity of the drug.

    Also known as: Docetaxel
