Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with previously untreated squamous carcinoma aimed for radiotherapy with curative intent of the oral cavity, oropharynx, uterine cervix, oesophagus, anal canal or lung.

Who may be able to join

  • Morphologically (pathology or cytology) verified, previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity, oropharynx, uterine cervix, oesophagus or lung.
  • The patient should be planned for treatment with radiotherapy alone or in combination with concomitant medical therapy
  • The tumour shall be radiologically and/or visually identifiable and accessible for biopsy without the need for general anaesthesia or other major interventions
  • The patient must be at least 18 years of age, able to understand the given information and, leave a written informed consent to participate

Who cannot join

  • The patient is unwilling to participate in the study
  • Patients with adjuvant post-operative radiotherapy (i.e. no visible remaining tumour)
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Contraindications to investigations with MRI, gadolinium contrast or PET-tracers
  • Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Severe co-morbidities that are judged to significantly compromise survival in a two-years perspective.

About this study

Official title: Multimodal Monitoring of Radiotherapy Response in Squamous Cell Cancer in Head & Neck, Lung, Oesophagus, Anal Canal and Uterine Cervix - a Basis for Personalised Radiotherapy

The study's aim is to define imaging and molecular bio-markers for prediction of radiotherapy response of squamous cell carcinomas, in an early treatment phase.

Read the detailed description

Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head \& neck, anal canal, cervix, esophagus or lung will be assessed before start of radiotherapy and 1-2 weeks after start. Multi-parametric MRI and 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) will be performed in parallel to metabolomic analyses of tumour tissue. The investigators will correlate changes in imaging bio-markers to corresponding changes in tissue or blood bio-markers by repeated imaging and biopsies for better understanding of the image parameters.

The data from the two assessments will be used for identifying imaging bio-markers, predictive for outcome. The patient data will be divided into one set of data for hypothesis generation and another set for validation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Loco regional control

    After completion of radiotherapy

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Loco regional tumour control (response)

    After completion of radiotherapy

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Patterns of failure

    Time and location of recurrence

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Overall survival

    After completion of radiotherapy

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Changes in imaging and metabolic data

    As measured 1-2 weeks after start of radiotherapy

    Measured: 1-2 weeks

  5. Site specific toxicity

    Measured as patient reported side-effects

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Squamous Carcinoma and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Umeå University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Loco regional control (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02379039, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Dec 2023.
