Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reirradiation With Pembrolizumab in Locoregional Inoperable Recurrence or Second Primary Squamous Cell CA of the Head and Neck (NCT NCT02289209)

NCT ID: NCT02289209

Last Updated: 2025-03-06

Results Overview

Number of months from the date of initiation of treatment to the date of progression of disease or death (whichever occurs first). Progressive disease, per RECIST 1.1, is defined as: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 36 months (after starting reirradiation and MK-3475)

Population: All treated patients who were radiologically evaluable and experienced disease progression.

Number of months from the date of initiation of treatment to the date of progression of disease or death (whichever occurs first). Progressive disease, per RECIST 1.1, is defined as: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

Progression Free Survival
7.9 months
Interval 4.3 to 10.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 36 months (after initiation of treatment with reirradiation and MK-3475)

Population: All treated patients who achieved radiologic response.

The percentage of the patients who have either Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm, or, Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. The patient's best overall response rate defined as the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression will be recorded, per RECIST 1.1.

Population: All treated patients who achieved radiologic response or stable disease.

The percentage of patients that have achieved a complete response, partial response, and stable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm, Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters, or Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Baseline

Population: Treated patients who completed Quality of Life evaluations.

Patient reported outcomes will be measured using EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires. This tool contains 30 items. It measures 5 functional dimensions (physical, role, cognitive, social, emotional), 6 single items (appetite loss, constipation, dyspnea, financial impact, sleep disturbance, diarrhea), 3 symptom items (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting) and a global health and quality of life scale. Scales range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning whereas a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.

Population: Treated patients who completed Quality of Life evaluations.

Patient reported outcomes will be measured using the EORTC QLQ-H\&N35, a 35-item questionnaire that assesses symptoms encountered specifically by patients with head and neck cancer. This measure generates 7 multiple-item scales (Pain, Swallowing, Senses, Speech, Social eating, Social contact, and Sexuality), in addition to 11 single items (eg, Opening mouth, Sticky saliva, Dry mouth, etc). Scales range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning whereas a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.
