Trial summary

Treatment of Head and Neck Squamous cell carcinoma often combines chemoradiotherapy when organ has to be preserved or when surgery is not indicated. The loco-regional failure is about 30%. Then salvage surgery is the only chance for patients to survive but the overall survival rate is only 29% at 24 months. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Evaluation of the Interest of Fluorescence in Salvage Surgery for Recurrence of Head and Neck Cancer in Irradiated Area

Treatment of Head and Neck Squamous cell carcinoma often combines chemoradiotherapy when organ has to be preserved or when surgery is not indicated. The loco-regional failure is about 30%. Then salvage surgery is the only chance for patients to survive but the overall survival rate is only 29% at 24 months. This prognostic is bad because of poor local control which is non-optimized by a complementary radiotherapy and negative exeresis margins.

Currently, there is no intraoperative technique to better visualize the tumor limits in real time. With fluorescence techniques, an accurate mapping of tumor extension can be considered. Recently, Atallah et al. (2015) demonstrated the use of fluorescence during a head and neck surgery in mice, as a tool allowing for better surgical margins. Digonnet et al (2015) found a tumor fragment after an injection of indocyanine green (ICG) intravenously in salvage surgery for patient with head and neck cancer.

The ability of ICG to detect a surgical margin positive intraoperatively has never be evaluated in irradiated area.

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the interest of fluorescence in salvage surgery for recurrence of head and neck cancer in irradiated area.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of indocyanine green labeling in Irradiated Area

    The indocyanine green labeling in irradiated areas will be compared to the histological result on the surgical specimen.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sensitivity of indocyanine green labeling on surgical margins

    The indocyanine green labeling on surgical margins will be compared to the surgical margins histological result

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing indocyanine green in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine at 1 site in France.

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 17 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2022. 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 France. 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?

Sensitivity of indocyanine green labeling in Irradiated Area (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT02920216, 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 31 Mar 2022.
