Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy Followed By Radiation Or Organ Preservation Surgery In Laryngeal/Hypopharyngeal Cancer

Start date: August 22, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

In the global landscape of cancer, head and neck malignancies are highly prevalent, with 878,000 new cases and 444,000 deaths recorded in 2020. Notably, laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers contribute to around 30% of these instances. More than 50% of patients are diagnosed with locally advanced disease, necessitating intensive treatments that significantly impact their quality of life. Despite these efforts, the prognosis for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers remains grim, with a 5-year survival rate of 30% to 50%. Past approaches focused on preserving laryngeal function and patient well-being, including minimally invasive surgery, advanced radiotherapy, and induction chemotherapy. Our prior research highlighted the effectiveness of combining toripalimab-based induction therapy and chemotherapy, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy or surgery. Positive short-term outcomes and manageable side effects were observed, with encouraging larynx preservation rates after one year. Against this backdrop, the current study aims to explore neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. It seeks to compare the therapeutic efficacy and quality of life impacts of concurrent radiochemotherapy and organ-preserving surgery. The ultimate goal is to identify optimal strategies for future interventions.

Immunological Function After Radiation With Either Proton or Photon Therapy

PRO-IMMUNO
Start date: September 23, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This is a pilot prospective observational cohort study, comprising patients with head and neck cancer (HNSCC) treated with standard of care definitive (chemo)radiation either with photons or protons. Patients will be assigned for protons or photons based on the guidelines of the National Indication Protocol for Proton therapy of the Netherlands. Immunological function will be evaluated by the collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Blood samples will be collected at baseline, during (chemo)radiation (end of week 3 and/or before week 4 of treatment) and after completion of (chemo)radiation (week 9, week 12, week 20, week 34 and week 60, respectively 1 week, 5 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after completion of (chemo)radiation). To quantify immunological function, PBMCs collected during (chemo)radiation and after (chemo)radiation will be compared with that before (chemo)radiation (week 0), using IFN-γ-ELISPOT to screen for the presence of antigen-specific T-cell responses. Furthermore, flow cytometry panels will be used to determine global changes in immune cell proficiency. Histological evaluation will take place at baseline and week 3 to examine changes in immune infiltration within tumour tissue during proton versus photon (chemo)radiation. This biopsy part of the study is optional for the patient. Archival tissue from the biopsy that was taken at diagnosis will be used for the baseline assessments. Biopsy at week 3 week will be taken for all patients who agree to participate in this optional part of the study.

NCT ID: NCT05793151 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Multi-Site Trial of Navigation vs Treatment as Usual for Delays in Starting Adjuvant Therapy

ENDURE
Start date: October 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a navigation-based multilevel intervention (ENDURE) with treatment as usual at decreasing delays starting guideline-adherent postoperative radiation therapy among patients with head and neck cancer. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Does ENDURE decrease delays starting PORT relative to treatment as usual? - Does ENDURE decrease racial disparities in delays starting PORT relative to treatment as usual - What are the mechanisms through which ENDURE reduces treatment delays?

NCT ID: NCT05561920 Recruiting - Larynx Cancer Clinical Trials

Phonatory Movement of the Pharyngoesophageal Mucosa in Laryngectomy Patients

Start date: August 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Therapy of advanced cancer of the larynx includes excision of the entire larynx. After the removal of the larynx, the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) is created by reconstruction of the soft tissue of the pharynx and oesophagus, and its vibration creates a replacement voice. High-speed video endoscopy (HSV) is the only method that visualizes and measures vibration of pharyngoesophageal mucosa (PEM) after laryngectomy. Acoustic characteristics of three forms of the rehabilitated voice of laryngectomized persons (oesophageal voice, tracheoesophageal voice using a speech prosthesis and electrolarynx) have been satisfactorily described but, the interdependence of acoustic and visual representations of the phonatory movement of the PES is still insufficiently investigated. In recent years, the development of biomechanical models is created to analyse the vibration of the PES, but still no uniform results have been achieved that would explain whether the parameters obtained from the analysis of the waveform of the PES can be compared with the parameters obtained from the acoustic analysis of the voice of a laryngectomized patients

NCT ID: NCT05337631 Recruiting - Oropharynx Cancer Clinical Trials

Special Care Patterns for Elderly HNSCC Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

SENIOR
Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The number of elderly head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is increasing; however, the evidence regarding the ideal treatment for this often vulnerable and frail patient cohort is limited. Although the benefit of concomitant chemotherapy has been reported to decrease in elderly HNSCC patients based on the MACH-NC meta-analysis, it remains unknown whether state-of-the art radiotherapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), modern supportive treatments and alternative chemotherapy fractionation (e.g., cisplatin weekly) may have altered this observation. The objective of this retrospective multinational multicenter study is to determine the oncological outcomes of elderly patients (≥65 years) with locally advanced HNSCCs undergoing definitive (chemo-)radiation and to investigate the influence of concomitant chemotherapy on overall survival and progression-free survival after adjusting for potential confounder variables such as age, performance status and comorbidity burden.

VoiceS: Voice Quality After Transoral CO2-Laser Surgery Versus Single Vocal Cord Irradiation for Larynx Cancer

VoiceS
Start date: November 20, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Laser surgery and radiotherapy are well-established standards of care for unilateral stage 0 & I carcinoma in situ (Cais) and squamous cell carcinoma of glottic larynx (SCCGL). Based on meta-analyses, functional and oncological outcome after both treatment modalities are comparable1-5. However, no properly conducted randomized trials comparing these treatments exist. The only such trial with the endpoint of voice quality had to be prematurely closed due to low accrual6. The traditional radiotherapy involves the treatment of the whole larynx. Recently, a new radiotherapy technique was introduced by a team of researchers from Netherlands, where the treated target volume consists of involved vocal cord and therefore 8 to 10-fold smaller than the target volumes used for traditional whole larynx irradiation. The treatment is reduced to 16 fractions which corresponds to 3 weeks and a day7-12. The results of a prospective cohort (n=30) with single vocal cord irradiation (SVCI) were compared with the results of a historical prospective cohort previously treated with whole larynx radiotherapy (n=131) in the same institute. The median follow-up was 30 months. The voice handicap index (VHI) at all time points beginning from the 6th week after SVCI was significantly superior to the same time points with conventional radiotherapy. Moreover, a comparable local control with SVCI (100%) vs. conventional radiotherapy (92%) was reported at two years, p=0.2412. Based on this information, the investigators' main aim is to compare SVCI to Transoral CO2-Laser Microsurgical Cordectomy (TLM) with the main focus of patient-reported voice quality.
