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: Patient with primitive head and neck squamous cells carcinoma diagnosed on surgical resection or biopsic sample, between 2008 and 2015 in metropolitan and Antillean populations

Who may be able to join

  • Primitive head and neck squamous cells carcinoma diagnosed on surgical resection or biopsic sample, between 2008 and 2015 in metropolitan and Antillean populations. For metropolitan they were included when expressing p16 as assessed by immunochemistry and positive HPV DNA by in situ hybridation or positive HPV PCR. For Antillean population they were included when expressing p16 as assessed by immunochemistry with regards of genotype as assessed by in situ hybridation or by PCR (to be completed).

Who cannot join

  • Secondary tumors,
  • Tumor recurrence in a patient for whom we have already tumor tissue, nasopharyngeal tumors, p16 expression by immunochemistry with negative PCR testing for HPV.

About this study

Official title: Automated Multiparameter in Situ Study Comparing the Microenvironment of Head and Neck Cancers Among West Indies and Metropolitan Populations: Screening for Predictive Markers of Overall Survival and Immunotherapy Responses.

Retrospective observational comparative and multicentric study of the microenvironment of HPV-induced head and neck cancers, with comparison between West Indies and Metropolitan populations, and therapeutic implications. This assessment is carried out by in situ multiparametric study with multiple immunofluorescence staining for cluster of differentiation 3, cluster of differentiation 4, cluster of differentiation 8, PROGRAMMED DEATH-1, PROGRAMMED DEATH-L1, PROGRAMMED DEATH-L2, cytokeratin and cluster of differentiation 68 and automated reading. HPV genotypes will be characterized. Learning these techniques will allow me to promote them in West Indies on my way back, and they may be applicable to other HPV-induced cancers.

Read the detailed description

Global annual incidence of head and neck (HN) cancers is high. It is even a greater concern in West Indies compared to other American countries. Most represented histological type is squamous carcinoma and several risk factors are involved , including tobacco exposure. Moreover, it is now clear that Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a causal factor in the development of HNSCCs : as many as 5 to 10% of tumors are induced by HPV in the world, and it is responsible of 25,9% of HN tumors. HPV 16 is the most involved (87%). However, HPV epidemiology is different in West Indies with the implication of various genotypes. Detection of HPV infection can be achieved through several methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or RNAscope, which is a new reliable precise technique which reflects the transcriptional activity of the virus. The differences between the genotype of HPV involved within both populations need to be consider to better identify therapeutic targets.Studying the microenvironment may allow a better understanding of anti-tumoral immunity and may help patient selection in order to achieved better responses to immunotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ImmunotherapyBiological

    Patients with primitive head and neck squamous cells carcinoma diagnosed on surgical resection or biopsic sample, between 2008 and 2015. They were included when expressing p16 as assessed by immunochemistry and positive HPV DNA by in situ hybridation or positive HPV PCR

What is being measured

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

  1. Description of tumoral microenvironment with multiparametric study by immunofluorescence comparing West Indies population and metropolitan population and the stratification of patients regarding RNAscope staining intensity and HPV genotype.

    Automated reading of results by software Inform (Perkin©).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary outcome measures are: - interpretation of RNAscope results and comparison between West Indies and Metropolitan population, - evaluation of RNAscope staining intensity to define subgroups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immunotherapy, run by University Hospital Center of Martinique at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 17 Feb 2020. 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 France, Martinique. 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?

Description of tumoral microenvironment with multiparametric study by immunofluorescence comparing West Indies population and metropolitan population and the stratification of patients regarding RNAscope staining intensity and HPV genotype. (time frame: 12 months). 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 17 Feb 2020.
