Overall Response Rate of Complete or Partial Response Primary · At 15 weeks

The response rates of complete or partial response rate as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors at 15 weeks of a chemotherapy regimen involving docetaxel and capecitabine as front line therapy at 95% confidence interval. Complete Response (CR): the disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter

Progression-free Survival Secondary · First date of therapy until the first notation of clinical progression, relapse or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate time to event distributions for progression-free survival. Progression-free survival will be defined as from the first date of therapy until the first notation of clinical progression, relapse or death from any cause.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Adverse Events will be collected from the time the subject starts the study drugs and ending 30 days following the final chemotherapy. Subjects with stable or responsive disease will continue on therapy until progression. For this study no subjects continued therapy beyond 12 months.. Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well docetaxel and capecitabine work in treating patients with squamous cell (thin, flat cells) carcinoma of the head and neck that has come back or spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
