About this study

Official title: Impact of Body Composition on the Prognosis and Toxicity of Patients Diagnosed With Recurrence or Metastasic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of treatment response in patients with recurrence or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and the neck (SCCHN) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)

Read the detailed description

Body composition including sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), sarcopenic obesity, and mioesteaosis has been well reported to be an independent predictors of mortality, toxicity, and complications in cancer patients with different locations and treatments. However, there are currently no data on impact of body composition and the oncological outcomes in SCCHN patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) due to recurrence or metastasic disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of treatment response in patients with recurrence or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and the neck (SCCHN) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)

    Assessed by CT scan at L3 level

    Measured: at baseline

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. - To evaluate the impact of malnutrition and weight loss on overall survival, recurrence-free survival, locoregional control, and toxicity in patients with recurrence or metastatic SCCHN treated with immunotherapy-based regimens.

    Evaluated by full nutritional assessment

    Measured: 2-3 months and 6 months

  2. Evaluate baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of toxicity

    Assessed by CT scan at L3 level

    Measured: 2-3 months and 6 months

  3. Evaluate the impact of adipose tissue as a predictor of survival and toxicity

    Assessed by CT scan at L3 level including total adipose tissue, subcutaneous, visceral and intramuscular fat mass

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Evaluate changes in body composition

    Assessed by CT scan at L3 level

    Measured: 2-3 months and 6 months

  5. Evaluate the need for nutritional support throughout the treatment and the type if so

    Evaluated after performed full nutritional assessment by a checklist with all different options

    Measured: through study completion, on average of 6 months

  6. Observe the correlation of a lower muscle mass with an increase in inflammatory parameters and oncological outcomes

    Assessed by CT scan at L3 level and blood sample

    Measured: 2-3 months and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Small Cell Carcinoma and Sarcopenia, run by Institut Català d'Oncologia at 1 site in Spain.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2021. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lorena Arribas (932607751, larribas@iconcologia.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of treatment response in patients with recurrence or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and the neck (SCCHN) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) (time frame: at baseline). 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 22 Jan 2021.
