Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment De-Intensification for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oropharynx (NCT NCT01088802)

NCT ID: NCT01088802

Last Updated: 2022-11-08

Results Overview

The goal is to achieve a prevalence of \< 15% grade 3+ late toxicity at 2 years; reported as percentage of patients who were free of grade 3+ adverse events (AEs) as measured by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0) between 6 months and 24 months. The outcome is reported as percentage of patients who were free of grade 3+ adverse events.

Measure
Dose De-escalating Radiation Therapy With Chemotherapy
This protocol combines selective radiation therapy dose de-escalation (from 70 Gy to 63 Gy and from 58.1 Gy to 50.75 Gy, same number of fractions (N=35) in 7 weeks) in patients with HPV-associated cancers of the oropharynx IMRT: Dose de-escalation (from 70 Gy to 63 Gy and from 58.1 Gy to 50.75 Gy, same number of fractions (N=35) in 7 weeks) Cisplatin: Cisplatin will be administered weekly for the first 3 weeks and the last 3 weeks of radiation. Patients will not receive chemotherapy during week 4 of treatment. Carboplatin: Carboplatin will be administered weekly during the 7 weeks of radiation. Carboplatin may be given as a substitution for cisplatin when cisplatin-related toxicities occur or when patients present with greater than grade 2 sensory or motor neuropathy, greater than 2 hearing loss, or less than 60 ml/min creatinine clearance.

Population: Some patients did not respond to QoL assessment for the various time points.

Determine quality of life of surviving patients measured by patient reported outcomes: -MDADI-Self-administered assessment on patient swallowing ability. There are 19 questions specific to swallowing that study patients completed. Composite score is the average of the 19 questions. The scale is 20 (extremely low functioning) to 100 (high functioning). Composite score is reported.

Determine quality of life of surviving patients measured by patient reported outcomes: XQ measures severity of radiation-induced xerostomia and patient reported quality of life. 8 question total:4 on dryness while eating/chewing, 4 on dryness when not eating/chewing. 0-10 (higher scores=severe dryness/discomfort). Composite Scores range from 0 (no xerostomia) -100 (highest level of xerostomia).

This protocol combines selective radiation therapy dose de-escalation (from 70 Gy to 63 Gy and from 58.1 Gy to 50.75 Gy, same number of fractions (N=35) in 7 weeks) in patients with HPV-associated cancers of the oropharynx IMRT: Dose de-escalation (from 70 Gy to 63 Gy and from 58.1 Gy to 50.75 Gy, same number of fractions (N=35) in 7 weeks) Cisplatin: Cisplatin will be administered weekly for the first 3 weeks and the last 3 weeks of radiation. Patients will not receive chemotherapy during week 4 of treatment. Carboplatin: Carboplatin will be administered weekly during the 7 weeks of radiation. Carboplatin may be given as a substitution for cisplatin when cisplatin-related toxicities occur or when patients present with greater than grade 2 sensory or motor neuropathy, greater than 2 hearing loss, or less than 60 ml/min creatinine clearance.
