About this study

Official title: Molecular Imaging-based Dose Escalation in HPV Negative Patients With Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oropharynx: a Phase-I Study.

Phase I study to assess the feasibility (i.e. early toxicity) of Molecular Imaging-based Dose Escalation in HPV Negative Patients With Locally Advanced SCC of the Oropharynx.

Read the detailed description

The objective is to assess the feasibility (i.e. early toxicity) of an adaptive dose escalation through 18F-FDG-PET-based dose painting by numbers in 10 HPV negative patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx. Treatment will be delivered with Helical Tomotherapy® or volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Dose adaptation will be performed at 2 time-points with per-treatment 18F-FDG-PET/CT scans.

    Measured: at 1 and 2 years

  3. Progression-free survival

    Measured: at 1 and 2 years

  4. Overall survival

    Measured: at 1 and 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dose escalation in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain at 2 sites in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Vincent Grégoire, MD, PhD (+ 32-2-7645431, vincent.gregoire@uclouvain.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute toxicity (time frame: up to 3 months following the completion of radiotherapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jun 2016.
