UNASSIGNED: Patients of head and neck (HN) cancer with primary in oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx, with PS 0-2 post radical chemoradiation with documented complete response were randomized 1:1 to either observation or oral metronomic adjuvant chemotherapy (MAC) for 18 months. MAC consisted of weekly oral methotrexate (15 mg/m2) and celecoxib (200 mg PO BD). The primary endpoint was OS and the overall sample size was 1038. The study had 3 planned interim analyses for efficacy and futility. Trial registration- Clinical Trials Registry- India (CTRI): CTRI/2016/09/007315 [Registered on: 28/09/2016] Trial Registered Prospectively.
UNASSIGNED: 137 patients were recruited and an interim analysis was done. The 3 year PFS was 68.7% (95% CI 55.1-79.0) versus 60.8% (95% CI 47.9-71.4) in the observation and metronomic arm respectively (P value = 0.230). The hazard ratio was 1.42 (95% CI 0.80-2.51; P value = 0.231). The 3 year OS was 79.4% (95% CI 66.3-87.9) versus 62.4% (95% CI 49.5-72.8) in the observation and metronomic arm respectively (P value = 0.047). The hazard ratio was 1.83 (95% CI 1.0-3.36; P value = 0.051).
UNASSIGNED: In this phase 3 randomized study, oral metronomic combinations of weekly methotrexate and daily celecoxib failed to improve the PFS or OS. Hence observation post-complete response post radical chemoradiation remains the standard of care.

■头颈部(HN)癌患者,原发性口咽,喉或下咽,有记录的完全缓解的根治性放化疗后PS0-2患者以1:1的比例随机接受观察或口服节拍辅助化疗(MAC)18个月.MAC由每周口服甲氨蝶呤(15mg/m2)和塞来昔布(200mgPOBD)组成。主要终点为OS,总样本量为1038。该研究对疗效和无效性进行了3次计划的中期分析。试验注册-临床试验注册-印度(CTRI):CTRI/2016/09/007315[注册时间:28/09/2016]试验注册。
■招募了137名患者,并进行了中期分析。3年PFS分别为68.7%(95%CI55.1-79.0)和60.8%(95%CI47.9-71.4)(P值=0.230)。风险比为1.42(95%CI0.80-2.51;P值=0.231)。3年OS分别为79.4%(95%CI66.3-87.9)和62.4%(95%CI49.5-72.8)(P值=0.047)。风险比为1.83(95%CI1.0-3.36;P值=0.051)。
■在这项第三阶段随机研究中,每周口服甲氨蝶呤和每日服用塞来昔布的节拍法组合未能改善PFS或OS.因此,根治性放化疗后完全反应后的观察仍然是护理标准。
