Clinical Trial Summary

TITLE:

A multicentre, randomised, phase III clinical trial comparing accelerated radiotherapy with accelerated radiotherapy plus carbogen and nicotinamide (ARCON) in clinical stage T2-4 laryngeal carcinoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Does the addition of carbogen and nicotinamide to a schedule of accelerated radiotherapy in patients with clinical stage T2-4 laryngeal carcinoma improve local primary tumour control? Definitive analysis will be performed on local control rates at two years after completion of radiotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

Does the addition of carbogen and nicotinamide

- increase the larynx preservation rate?

- increase the regional control rate?

- increase the toxicity of accelerated radiotherapy?

- improve the overall quality of life?

- improve the disease-free survival?

- improve the overall survival?

STUDY DESIGN:

An open-label, randomised clinical trial assigning patients in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following treatment arms:

- accelerated radiotherapy

- accelerated radiotherapy plus carbogen and nicotinamide

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS AND NUMBER:

344 patients with clinical T2-4 laryngeal carcinoma

MEASUREMENTS:

- time to local failure

- time to regional failure

- survival with functional larynx

- overall and disease-free survival

- frequency and severity of complications related to radiotherapy and carbogen and nicotinamide

- quality of life assessment
