Trial Outcomes & Findings for Capecitabine and Vorinostat in Treating Patients With Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer (NCT NCT01267240)

NCT ID: NCT01267240

Last Updated: 2017-04-14

Results Overview

Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT and MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Response Rate According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
2 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 1 year

Population: 16 patients of the 25 were eligible for response assessment.

Overall survival is defined as the length of time from start of treatment to death from any cause. Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Survival
10.8 months
Interval 5.0 to
Not reached

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From time of treatment initiation to disease progression, death, or completion of the 1 year follow-up, whichever occurs first.

Population: 16 of 25 patients were evaluable for response.

PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression, death, or completion of the 1-year follow-up, whichever occurs first. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.
