Trial Outcomes & Findings for Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Cetuximab (TPC) in Palliative Treatment of Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) (NCT NCT01437449)

NCT ID: NCT01437449

Last Updated: 2024-01-30

Results Overview

Clinical response for each participant will be assessed after 8 weeks of treatment according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria. Overall response rate (ORR) was assessed as the sum of the number of participants that experience a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The outcome is defined and reported as the number of subjects that responded, a number without dispersion. Other response statuses are included. RECIST v1.1 criteria is defined as follows. * Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions * Partial Response (PR) = ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions * Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR * Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and/or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s) * Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Response data were not available for all participants.

Clinical response for each participant will be assessed after 8 weeks of treatment according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria. Overall response rate (ORR) was assessed as the sum of the number of participants that experience a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The outcome is defined and reported as the number of subjects that responded, a number without dispersion. Other response statuses are included. RECIST v1.1 criteria is defined as follows. * Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions * Partial Response (PR) = ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions * Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR * Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and/or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s) * Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, was assessed through 24 months, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria. The outcome is reported as the median time that participants remained free of progression, with 95% confidence interval (CI). * Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions * Partial Response (PR) = ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions * Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR * Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and/or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s) * Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria
