About this study

Official title: Hypofractionated Radiotherapy and Concurrent Cisplatin for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer: A Feasibility Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of hypofractionated radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy with cisplatin for locally advanced head and neck cancer in a high volume brazilian center.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate if concomitant cisplatin and hypofractionated radiation therapy wold be feasible in a brazilian population.

Patients eligibility criteria:

older than 18 years old Biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx, larynx and hypopharynx. Stage III an IV, with no distant metastasis. ECOG performance status 0-2. Adequate renal and liver function. Good status for radical treatment

Treatment considered feasible if:

  1. Patient receive at least 90% of radiation dose (18 of 20 fractions of 275cGy)
  2. Patients receive at least 3 of 4 weekly cycles of cisplatin (35mg/m2)
  3. Treatment length up to 35 days.
  4. Grade 4 toxicity lower than 25%
Being tested

Receives: Radiation: Hypofractionated Radiotherapy; Drug: Weekly cisplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the rate of patient who could complete the treatment.

    The treatment is considered completed when patients receive at least 90% of radiation dose (49,5Gy) with a cumulative cisplatin dose of 105mg/m2 or more (3 of 4 cycles) and the treatment duration is inferior to 35 consecutive days.

    Measured: up to 5 years after patient accrual

  2. To evaluate the rate of participants with treatment-related adverse events

    as assessed by investigators using the CTCAE v4.0 criteria

    Measured: up to 5 years after patient accrual

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Quality of life according to the EORTC C30 questionaire and EORTC H&N 35 (evaluated together)

    Frequency and intensity of symptoms as described by patients before treatment (baseline), at the end of treatment, 1 month, 7 months and after 1 year following the treatment.

    Measured: up to 18 months from treatment

  2. Response rate

    as determined by investigators using RECIST v1.1 criteria

    Measured: up to 4 months after patient accrual
