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: In protocol 10-111 "Surviving Oropharynx Cancer: Long-term Impact of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) on quality of life", a population of HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer survivors was identified. There are nearly 150 participants who have completed the one-time questionnaire on 10-111 who may meet the eligibility criteria for this study.

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Diagnosis of HPV+ squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx confirmed by the pathology department of MSKCC. Positive HPV status defined as chromogenic in situ hybridization with wide spectrum HPV probe (HPV III family 16 probe (Ventana) with affinity to HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, and
  • 66) or p16 immunohistochemistry done in a Clinically Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) approved laboratory; if either of these 2 tests are positive, the patient is classified as HPV positive]
  • Completed last treatment for oropharyngeal cancer (surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation) at least 3 years before enrollment in study
  • Able to speak and read English
  • Clinically shows no evidence of disease (NED)
  • Received radiation therapy with a dose of at least 60Gy, at MSKCC as part of concurrent treatment
  • Medical clearance from a member of the patient's healthcare team indicating no relative contraindications to undergoing a cardiopulmonary exercise test

Who cannot join

  • Diagnosis with recurrent disease following completion of primary curative treatment
  • History of any cancer other than HPV+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, or current diagnosis of another cancer
  • Current diagnosis of any of the following: Acute myocardial Infarction (within 3-5 days of any planned study procedures); Unstable angina; Arrhythmia; Syncope; Active endocarditis; Acute myocarditis or pericarditis; Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis; Heart failure; Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction; Thrombosis of lower extremities; Suspected dissecting aneurysm; Pulmonary edema; Room air desaturation at rest ≤85%; Respiratory failure; Any acute non-cardiopulmonary disorders that may affect exercise performance or be aggravated by exercise (i.e., infection, renal failure, thyrotoxicosis); COPD or asthma noted in patients EMR.
  • Mental impairment leading to an inability to cooperate or consent to this research study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Cardiopulmonary Fitness in Long-Term Survivors of HPV-related Oropharynx Cancers

This study is being done to learn about how the participants lungs and heart are working after treatment for throat cancer. The investigators are looking to see if there is a long-term impact on overall health from the cancer treatment. The long-term goal of this study is to compare the participants overall quality of life to similarly aged people who have not had throat cancer.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is not to test the impact of a specific intervention, but rather to evaluate the long-term cardiovascular health and quality of life of oropharyngeal cancer survivors using validated survey instruments, cardiopulmonary testing, and measurements of cardiac risk factors. Thus, no intervention, other than the assessments will be administered as part of the protocol. All participants will have received treatment according to the standard of care or a therapeutic clinical trial in which they may have participated previously. We will collect information about prior treatment from the electronic medical record (EMR).

Being tested
blood draw, study questionnaire, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) scan

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
long-term survivors of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancerThis is a cross-sectional pilot study of long-term survivors of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer treated with CTRT who are at least three years from treatment completion. This study consists of a onetime assessment of cardiopulmonary fitness, physical function status, measurement of lean body mass, endothelial function quality of life assessment, medical history and blood laboratory evaluation for traditional cardiac risk factors, endocrine derangement and inflammation.
Receives: Other: blood draw; Behavioral: study questionnaire; Other: cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET); Other: DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) scan

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oropharynx Cancers, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

change in VO2peak (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Jan 2018.
