Induction Chemotherapy With ACF Followed by Chemoradiation Therapy for Adv. Head & Neck Cancer

Head and Neck Neoplasms Clinical Trial

Official title:
Phase II Trial of Nab-Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, and 5-FU (ACF) as Induction Therapy Followed by Definitive Concurrent Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (HNSCC)

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the safety and effectiveness of an induction chemotherapy (ACF) consisting of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation (nab-paclitaxel), cisplatin and fluorouracil followed by chemoradiation therapy in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. ACF may be an effective way to reduce or downgrade locally aggressive tumors, and improve the chance of eradication by chemoradiation.

Clinical Trial Description

Compared to the standard induction regimen of TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-FU), the ACCF (nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, cetuximab, and 5-FU) regimen included two therapeutic changes: nab-paclitaxel was substituted for docetaxel and cetuximab was added. The investigators propose to eliminate cetuximab from the ACCF regimen to isolate the treatment effects of nab-paclitaxel when given with cisplatin and 5-FU. The primary objective of the ACF proposal is to determine the complete (CR) rate by clinical examination at the primary tumor site following two cycles of ACF. An important secondary objective will be to compare the tumor response rates at the primary site following two cycles of ACF to our historical experience following two cycles of ACCF (protocol # ABX 218/HRPO# 08-0911). In addition, the investigators will compare adverse events (AEs) between patients who receive ACF to the historical group given ACCF. From these two comparisons, we aim to determine if either ACF or ACCF is superior based on a balance of efficacy (using the surrogate prognostic endpoint of CR rate at primary tumor site) and toxicity. ;
