Study summary

Cisplatin plus weekly docetaxel as first-line chemotherapy in metastatic salivary gland cancer patients : a multicenter phase II study

Read the detailed description

Preclinically, paclitaxel and docetaxel have demonstrated activity against salivary gland cancers1. Phase II trial of single-agent paclitaxel2, conducted by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group in 45 patients with advanced SGC. Eight partial responses were observed among the 31 patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) or adenocarcinoma, but no responses were identified in the 14 patients with ACC. Based on its impressive anti-tumor activity in patients with head and neck cancer, especially in squamous cell carcinoma, Ragusa et al.3 evaluated the activity of docetaxel in 4 patients with high grade MEC of the major salivary glands. The treatment was well tolerated, and there was complete response in two and partial response in the other two patients.

However, myelosuppression is one of the serious concerns with every 3 week schedule of docetaxel administration, especially in older patients. Alternatively, a weekly dosing of docetaxel has been reported to reduce toxicity and Investigator previously reported weekly docetaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer demonstrated high response rate with modest toxicities4. So Investigator planned this phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cisplatin plus weekly docetaxel in patients with metastatic salivary gland cancer.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Response rate

    To evaluate the effectiveness of regimen. The overall response rate will be measured by RECIST v1.1.

    Time frame: Up to 30months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Overal survival defined by date of all-cause mortality from date of IP administration will be calculated.

    Time frame: The time until defineded by date of all-cause mortality from date of IP administration. Up to 30 months.

  2. progression-free survival (PFS)

    It is measure of the period of survival without disease progression.

    Time frame: The time until the date of either disease progression or the all cause mortality from the date of IP administration. Up to 30months.

  3. Adeverse event(AE)

    Adverse event will be evaluate using CTCAE V.4.0

    Time frame: from the date of informed consent signature to 21days after last drug administration.
