TriangleNCT02177838 · STUDY IN CONTEXT
Cetuximab and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV Head and Neck Cancer
Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes locally advanced disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

Linked outcomes
Target number of patients for the study was 27. At the termination of the study, 8 patients were accrued and finished treatment but 1 patient dropped out before follow up, leaving an evaluable number of 7. As the enrollment in the study did not reach the target number of patients, we were not able to produce statistically reliable results to detect the expected difference. Therefore, we have decided to provide summary statistics of primary and secondary outcomes. Among 3 cetuximab responders, two did not have progression within 2 year follow-up time and one had a locoregional recurrence and expired.
Among 7 patients, no one progressed during neoadjuvant cetuximab per RECIST 1.1 CT criteria (0%).
Among 4 cetuximab non-responders, none had locoregional failure at 2 years. Two patients had known HPV status; one patient was HPV+ and another patient HPV-. HPV status for the other two was unknown. HPV positive patient had no sign of progression within 2 years of follow-up. HPV negative patient had no sign of progression for 210 days until the last follow-up. One HPV unknown patient did not show progression within 2 years of follow-up, and the other HPV unknown patient had no progression for 115 days until the last follow-up.
