Study Overview

Official Title: Phase II Pilot Study of TPF Docetaxel Cisplatin and 5-FU Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Concurrent Cisplatin and Reduced Dose Radiation in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
Status: TERMINATED
Status Verified Date: 2017-12
Last Known Status: None
Delayed Posting: No
If Stopped, Why?: Low dose radiation treatment was not appropriate for these patients
Has Expanded Access: False

Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel cisplatin and fluorouracil work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer The doctor also wants to find out if patients who receive this treatment need a feeding tube 1 year after starting treatment
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine feeding tube dependency at 12 months in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer treated with induction chemotherapy comprising docetaxel cisplatin and fluorouracil followed by cisplatin and reduced-dose radiotherapy

Secondary

Determine the progression-free disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the pattern of failure in patients treated with this regimen
Evaluate the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen
Assess pre- and post-treatment swallowing ability of patients and the impact on their quality of life

Tertiary

Quantify salivary flow rates of patients receiving chemotherapy with radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy
Evaluate the quality of saliva by examining total protein concentrations
Quantify proangiogenic cytokines interleukin IL-1 IL-6 IL-8 and vascular endothelial growth factor in the saliva of these patients
Determine the degree of mucositis and xerostomia of patients receiving chemotherapy with radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy
Compare salivary flow rates with the grade of mucositis and xerostomia of patients receiving chemotherapy with radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy

OUTLINE This is a pilot study

Induction therapy Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 followed by fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1- 4 Patients also receive filgrastim G-CSF subcutaneously SC on days 5-14 or pegfilgrastim SC on day 5 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients achieving a partial or clinical complete response proceed to chemoradiotherapy 3 weeks later
Chemoradiotherapy Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients also undergo concurrent reduced-dose radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks
Surgery Approximately 6 to 8 weeks after completing chemoradiotherapy patients with residual neck disease or disease initially staged at N2 or greater undergo neck dissection

Saliva is collected periodically to measure flow rates and quality quantify proangiogenic cytokines interleukin IL-1 IL-6 IL-8 and vascular endothelial growth factor and examine the grade of mucositis and xerostomia

Quality of life is assessed at baseline before chemoradiotherapy 1 month after the last radiation treatment every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 1 year

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically for 5 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study
