Study population: This study will enroll women and men with a pathologically-confirmed diagnosis of early-stage oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma that undergo surgery to excise the tumor.

Who may be able to join

  • Participants must be men and women age 18+
  • Confirmed diagnosis of oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
  • Participants must have received or will undergo surgery to excise the primary oropharyngeal tumor.

Who cannot join

  • Participants who had other primary cancers prior to oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer

About this study

Here, the investigators will develop a clinicopathomic assay from biomarkers obtained from digital pathologies of resected whole-mount oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC and OPSCC) specimens with the goal of administering personalized novel image-guided therapies immediately after primary surgical management in OCSCC and OPSCC patients. The primary aim is to determine the association between clinicopathomic biomarkers and LRR. The secondary aim is to develop a clinicopathomic risk score (assay) such that a decision-support tool can be used by physicians for measuring the benefit of additional therapies (i.e. conventional chemotherapy +/- radiation or administering dose-escalated chemoradiation) in the adjuvant setting to reduce LRR rates.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is significant for developing personalized treatments. The proposed research will yield high rewards to patients by providing additional information to clinicians for better prognostication and potentially adapting adjuvant treatments to improve the survival of patients with OCSCC or OPSCC.

    Measured: Up to 60 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to distant metastasis

    Evaluating onset of distant metastasis

    Measured: Up to 60 months

  2. Time to death

    Evaluating time to cancer-related death

    Measured: Up to 60 months

Individual data sharing
Yes: All data will be anonymized. Digital pathology images and anonymized clinical data will be deposited into the National Cancer Institute (NCI) data sharing repository, including The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). Digital pathology images will also be annotated to facilitate analysis for other investigators. Computational methods, source-codes and instructions will be deposited to the open-source coding repository, GitHub (www.github.com).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Neoplasm and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 11 Apr 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 Canada. 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?

Time to locoregional recurrence (time frame: Up to 60 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 11 Apr 2023.
