Metformin Hydrochloride in Affecting Cytokines and Exosomes in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

Larynx Clinical Trial

Official title:
Pilot Study of Metformin in Head and Neck Cancer and Its Effect on Proinflammatory Cytokines and Exosomes Implicated in Acute and Chronic Toxicity

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride works in affecting cytokines and exosomes in patients with head and neck cancer. Metformin hydrochloride may reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissues.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the capacity of metformin hydrochloride (metformin) to alter the cytokine and exosome profiles. II. To assess the capacity of metformin to mitigate known side effects of external beam radiation therapy including inflammation, mucositis, dysphagia, xerostomia, and fatigue. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess safety and tolerability of metformin treatment in subjects undergoing external beam radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. II. To determine the effect of metformin treatment on symptoms of xerostomia as assessed by the Xerostomia Questionnaire (XQ). III. To determine the effect of metformin treatment on symptoms of mucositis as assessed by World Health Organization (WHO) classification. IV. To determine the effect of metformin treatment on symptoms of dysphagia as assessed by the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory. V. To determine the effect of metformin treatment on symptoms of fatigue as assess by the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI). ;
