Filter by:The primary purpose of the study is to assess the safety of 111In-panitumumab as a molecular imaging agent in patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The secondary objective is to compare sensitivity and specificity of identifying sentinel lymph nodes by systemic injection of 111In-panitumumab prior to Day of Surgery versus conventional local injection with an optical dye at the time of surgery.
Treatment will consist of a PARP inhibitor (niraparib) monotherapy priming period (cycle 0; 21 days); an anti-PD-1 antibody (Dostarlimab ; TSR-042) will then be added from C1D1 every 21 days in combination for the first 4 cycles, and then every 42 days. Disease will be assessed every 2 cycles (6 weeks) from C3D1 by CT-scan (or MRI or bone scan, if relevant). Patients still under treatment after 1 year may have tumor evaluation spaced out every 3 cycles
Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common form of malignancy world-wide. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are associated with a high burden of side effects; tumour recurrence within the neck continues to be a major cause of treatment failure. To our knowledge, this research is the first clinical study in human subjects to utilize magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound to treat cancer of the neck. The goal is to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of this therapy in order to guide future clinical applications such as ablation, radiosensitization or drug delivery that could ultimately improve clinical outcomes. A total of 10 patients will be treated with MR guided focused ultrasound.
In the clinical trial the investigators will observe the impact of regional anesthesia in addition to a general anesthesia on the expression of substance P in patients with unilateral Head or Neck cancer undergoing unilateral Neck Dissection. The investigators will perform an unilateral regional cervical plexus block on the tumor side. The tissue of the tumor side will be analysed by immunohistology, measuring the expression of the Substance P.
Randomized, multicenter trial to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 2 different follows up programs in head and neck cancer survivors. Patients in complete remission at month 6 (+/- 1 month) after curative treatment will be randomized in two arms according to 2 different follow up approaches: Non Intensive Follow up approach (Arm A) with no radiologic evaltuations scheduled, but required only at the occurence of any signs or symptoms and Intensive Follow up approach (Arm B) with scheduled radiologic evaluations.
