Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Apatinib with Particle Therapy
Participants will receive apatinib (0.5g, daily) for 6 weekly followed by particle radiotherapy (proton: 56 GyE/28 Fx, plus carbon: 15 GyE/5 Fx for boost).
|
Drug: Apatinib
Apatinib will be used as induction therapy in experimental arm. Radiation: Particle Therapy Same total dose and fractionation will be used in both arms. |
Experimental: Particle Therapy
Participants will receive particle radiotherapy alone (proton: 56 GyE/28 Fx, plus carbon: 15 GyE/5 Fx for boost).
|
Radiation: Particle Therapy
Same total dose and fractionation will be used in both arms. |
- Short-term treatment response of all patients [ Time Frame: Three months after completion of particle therapy. ]
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v4.03 [ Time Frame: Time interval from start to 3 months after completion of particle therapy. ]
- Overall survival of all patients [ Time Frame: From the diagnosis of H&N adenoid cystic carcinoma, a median of 3 years. ]
- Progression-free survival of all patients [ Time Frame: From the completion of the particle therapy, a median of 3 years. ]
- Local progression-free survival of all patients [ Time Frame: From the completion of the particle therapy, a median of 3 years. ]
- Distant metastasis-free survival of all patients [ Time Frame: From the completion of the particle therapy, a median of 3 years. ]
