Clinical Trial Summary

Tumours continually shed DNA into the circulation, where it can be accessed. This circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) directly reflects tumour burden and has great potential to be a sensitive biomarker for treatment recurrence. These "liquid biopsies" could give a more real-time picture of the genomic status and evolution of a tumour and can be easily assessed for measurement of different biomarkers. However, in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients treated with primary curative radiotherapy, data regarding ctDNA kinetics and its correlation with outcome are scarce. A new or additional tool for response evaluation next to or instead of conventional imaging after treatment would be beneficial to detect recurrences in an earlier stage, thereby increasing the chances of success of salvage therapy. More importantly, an early response parameter during treatment could help to identify patients that have a good treatment response and might benefit from treatment adaptation. With this study, we aim to reveal ctDNA as an effective tool for future dose (de)-escalation trials in HNSCC.
