Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Phase III randomized trial to compare the efficacy in terms of overall survival of two follow-up strategies (conventional versus intensive) among smokers and/or alcohol drinkers patients, older than 35 year, in complete remission 2-4 months after treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Patients will be randomized after the post-treatment check-up (clinical examination and reference imaging including PET-CT for patients ≥ N2) performed 2 to 4 months after the end of treatment. The randomization ratio is 1:1.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conventional follow-up

clinical examination with nasofibroscopy every 1-3 months first year post-treatment, every 2-4 months second year, every 4-6 months third year (mean of around 13 visits) and every 6 months thereafter. Low Dose Chest CTscan every year in patients with tobacco consumption history of \> 20 pack-year. Panendoscopy plus CT-scan are performed in case of clinical symptoms or abnormal clinical exam.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Nasofibroscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

every 1-3 months first year post-treatment, every 2-4 months second year, every 4-6 months third year (mean of around 13 visits) and every 6 months thereafter

Low Dose Chest CTscan

Intervention Type OTHER

every year in patients with tobacco consumption history of \> 20 pack-year

Biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In both arm, patient will have a confirmation biopsy in case of suspicion of relapse or second primary.

Intensive follow-up strategy

adding to the conventional follow-up strategy , an annual head\&neck and thoracic injected CT-scan and Lugol upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (the first performed 12 months after inclusion), annual whole body PET-CT (the first at 6 months after inclusion). These 3 exams are performed every year during 3 years after inclusion (i.e. 3 CT-scan, 3 digestive endoscopies and 3 PET-CT per patient). Clinical follow up will be conducted as in the conventional follow up group and panendoscopy or bronchoscopy will be performed if needed. After 3 years, patients will be followed by conventional follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Males or females aged superior to 35 years
* Current or previous smokers (smoked more than 10 packs year) or alcohol drinkers (current or previous, more than 140 g alcohol per week) or both
* Histologically proven invasive HNSCC stage 0 to IVa, excluding T4b and nasopharynx. Patients with in situ carcinoma are eligible.
* Treated with curative intent
* Free of cancer at the post-treatment clinical and radiological examination (negative PET-CT for N≥2) at least 2 months after the end of the last treatment and no later than 4 months after. If there is a strong doubt of lack of complete remission (for example if more exams or longer follow-up are needed to affirm or deny complete remission), the patient is not eligible for the trial.
* Remark: Patients with several head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (concomitant or successive), all treated with curative intent and all in complete remission, are eligible.
* Agree to have a long term follow-up
* Signed informed consent
* Patient affiliated to a social security system or beneficiary of the same

Exclusion Criteria

* Pregnant or breastfeeding women
* Severe psychiatric condition that may inhibit protocol participation and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
* Impossibility to perform the planned exams of the intensive strategy
* Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
* Other malignancies within 5 years prior to randomization that needs followup by PET-scan or chest CT or head and neck CT/MRI
* Any disease that needs follow-up by regular upper digestive endoscopy
