NCT00599131 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Cetuximab and Radiation Therapy in Laryngeal Cancer Patients Who Have Responded to One Cycle of Chemotherapy (SPORE)

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. 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.

Measures are not ranked. Open each original source section for treatment groups, denominators, units and results.

primary · POSTED

The proportion of patients treated with radiation+cetuximab achieving histologic CR will be estimated, along with 95% exact confidence intervals. Histologic Complete Response (CR) will be defined as primary tumors exhibiting a clinical CR or at least a 90% PR (Partial Response) along with a negative post-treatment biopsy.

The study was discontinued prematurely due to an early stopping rule. No participants were assessed for the primary outcome because an insufficient number of patients were recruited.

→

secondary · POSTED

To determine tumor EGFR degradation, as well as other markers of down-stream EGFR inhibition, observed in tumor biopsies taken shortly after the administration of cetuximab following TPF, compared with pre-treatment biopsies.

The study was discontinued prematurely due to an early stopping rule. No participants were assessed because an insufficient number of patients were recruited.

→

secondary · POSTED

To evaluate the quality of life (QOL).

The study was discontinued prematurely due to an early stopping rule. No participants were assessed because an insufficient number of patients were recruited.

→

secondary · POSTED

To determine the overall survival rates compared to the overall survival rates of historical controls.

The study was discontinued prematurely due to an early stopping rule. No participants were assessed because an insufficient number of patients were recruited.

→

secondary · POSTED

To determine and compare toxicities, most notably mucositis and dysphagia, in patients on this treatment regimen as compared to historical controls.

The study was discontinued prematurely due to an early stopping rule. No participants were assessed because an insufficient number of patients were recruited.
