Study Description

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out whether radiotherapy to some of the lymph node areas can be safely omitted to decrease side effects without increasing the risk of the tumour coming back.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Oropharyngeal Cancer Radiation: Radiation Drug: Cisplatin Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The standard or usual treatment for this disease includes radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy or antibody therapy.

These treatments are highly effective at curing most patients with HPV-related cancer of the oropharynx, but short and long-term side effects from treatment can be significant.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements. Each patient must sign a consent form prior to enrolment in the trial to document their willingness to participate
  • Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Investigators must assure themselves the patients enrolled on this trial will be available for complete documentation of the treatment, adverse events, and follow-up.

  • The following radiological investigations must be done within 8 weeks of randomization: CT or MR of head and neck (MRI is recommended for base-of-tongue primary tumors); PET-CT scan.
  • Patient must consent to provision of, and investigator(s) must confirm location and commit to obtain a representation of formalin-fixed paraffin block of non-cytology tumour tissue in order that the specific correlative marker assays described in Section 12 (Correlative Studies) may be conducted. Please see the Correlative Manual for details
  • Patient must consent to provision of samples of blood and plasma (for circulating cell free DNA) in order that the specific correlative marker assays described may be conducted.
  • Patients with prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer
