Description of intervention(s) / exposure
single arm phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy with intravenous docetaxel (Taxotere), cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) [TPF regimen; T: Taxotere, P: Cisplatin F: 5-FU] and concurrent chemoradiation with weekly intravenous cisplatin in patients with locally advanced laryngeal carcinoma
Fifty eligible patients with pathologically proven laryngeal carcinoma are enrolled.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy: Patients initially receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising intravenous docetaxel (75 mg/m2) and intravenous cisplatin (100 mg/m2) on day 1 and intravenous 5-FU (750 mg/m2) continuously on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a complete or partial response after 3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy proceed to chemoradiotherapy. Patients with less than a partial response after course 3 proceed to surgery, including total laryngectomy.
Chemoradiotherapy: 3 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients undergo 7 weeks concurrent chemoradiation with weekly intravenous ciplatin (30 mg/m2).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 259372 0
Clinical response rates determined based on the direct laryngoscopic and physical examination and imaging [(Computed Tomography (CT) scan] findings
Timepoint [1] 259372 0
Direct laryngoscopic and physical examination and imaging (CT scan) will be performed 3 weeks after the last (3rd) cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 4 weeks following completion of chemoradiation.
Secondary outcome [1] 265889 0
Acute treatment-related toxicities will be measured by clinician assessment and graded according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer(RTOG/EORTC) Late Radiation Morbidity Scoring Schema.
Timepoint [1] 265889 0
Acute treatment-related toxicites [such as hematologic (leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia), gastrointestinal (diarrhea, vomiting), neurological (neuropathy, pain, hand foot syndrome) toxicities] will be assessed at baseline, at the end of every sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycle and weekly during concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
