Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms; Carcinoma

Intervention: docetaxel (Drug); cisplatin (Drug); 5-fluorouracil (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Sanofi

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Clinical Sciences & Operations, Study Director, Affiliation: Sanofi

Summary

The primary objective is to estimate the Complete Response rate of docetaxel to the combination of cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (TCF) compared to cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (CF) in the Induction treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). The secondary objectives are to determine:

- the safety of TCF in comparison to CF after induction treatment of NPC,

- the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel when added to CF,

- the Overall Response rate of TCF and CF on completion of induction and consolidation

(chemo-radiotherapy) treatment of NPC, and to compare overall survival between TCF and CF.

Clinical Details

Official title: International Randomized Study to Evaluate the Addition of Docetaxel to the Combination of Cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (TCF) vs. Cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (CF) in the Induction Treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) in Children and Adolescents

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR)

Secondary outcome:

Docetaxel Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) in the Docetaxel/Cisplatin/5-FU Group

Overall Response (OR)

Overall Survival (OS) Rate

Detailed description: Planned treatment duration:

- induction period: 9 weeks of induction treatment

- consolidation period: 9 weeks of chemoradiation treatment.

The consolidation treatment was the same for all participants: radiation therapy for 7-8 weeks and 3 cycles of cisplatin 100 mg/m² every 3 weeks.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 1 Month. Maximum age: 21 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histological diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma World Health Organization (WHO)

type II or III

- Children and adolescents newly diagnosed with Stage IIB-IV NPC with measurable

disease, who are >1 month to ≤21 years of age at the time of diagnosis. In France, participants must be ≥1 year to ≤21 years of age at the time of diagnosis Exclusion Criteria:

- Participants with short life expectancy

- Prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy to the nasopharynx or neck for the treatment of

nasopharyngeal carcinoma
