Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects of image-guided hyper-fractioned proton therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Radiation therapy uses high energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The change in dose radiation frequency and dose investigated in this study may help to better control the tumor and prevent it from coming back or growing. The goal of this study is to test a new radiation schedule that administers more radiation to the tumor tissue using image guided proton therapy for patients that have a high risk of having a tumor recurrence (the tumor comes back after treatment).


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the safety & feasibility of image guided mid-treatment hyper-fractioned dose-escalation with proton therapy and identify the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) for the treatment of locally advanced human papillomavirus (HPV) negative head and neck cancer. OUTLINE: Patients undergo radiation therapy once daily (QD) 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) for the first 18 days and then twice daily (BID) for 15 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 8 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months in the first year after radiation therapy, every 4 months in the second year after radiation therapy, and then every 9 months thereafter. ;
