256This study compare the survival without laryngeal dysfunction 2 years after the end of treatment, obtained by chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy with cisplatin administrated during radiotherapy.
In patients with tumors classified as T3 or T4 larynx and hypopharynx, the usually recommended treatment was total laryngectomy.This intervention allows to obtain locoregional disease control in 75% of cases, without laryngectomy
TPF arm followed by radiotherapy was validated in a Phase III (GORTEC 2000-01), it will be the standard treatment.
The RTOG study concluded that chemotherapy administrated during radiotherapy became a standard of laryngeal preservation.
Taking together all these considerations, it is necessary to perform a direct comparison in a randomized trial to further test this hypothesis. Chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy will be the standard arm. It hopes to increase the survival rate from 52% to 65% in the experimental arm.
Radiotherapy : 70Gy (2Gy/day) for 7 weeks.
Docetaxel 75 mg / m² administered on day 1 of each cycle every 3 weeks as an intravenous (IV) infusion of one hour followed by cisplatin 75 mg / m² administered on day 1 hour infusion followed by 5-FU, 750 mg / m² / day administered in continuous infusion from D1 to D5 (or 120 hours)
Cisplatin: 75 mg/m² for experimental arm and 100mg/m² for comparator arm administered on day 1 of each cycle every 3 weeks as an intravenous (IV) infusion.
5-FU, 750 mg / m² / day administered in continuous infusion from D1 to D5 (or 120 hours)
Induction chemotherapy by Docetaxel 75 mg/m² day 1,cisplatin 75 mg/m² day 1 and 5 fluorouracil 750mg/m²(day 1 to day 5) 3 cycles day1, day 22, day 43 followed (for responders or stable disease patients) by radiotherapy Radiotherapy ;70 gray fractionization: 2Gy/day, 5days/week, for 7 weeks.
Drug and radiation • Cisplatin: 100 mg / m² administered IV at J1, J22 and J43 of radiotherapy . Radiotherapy 70 gray fractionization: 2Gy/day, 5days/week, for 7 weeks.
