Salivary Gland Surgery Before Radiation Therapy in Preventing Radiation-Caused Xerostomia in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
A Phase II Study Of Submandibular Salivary Gland Transfer To The Submental Space Prior To Start Of Radiation Treatment For Prevention Of Radiation-Induced Xerostomia In Head And Neck Cancer Patients
RATIONALE: Moving a salivary gland out of the area that will undergo radiation therapy may protect the gland from side effects of radiation therapy and may prevent xerostomia (dry mouth).
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of salivary gland surgery in preventing xerostomia in patients who are undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the reproducibility of the surgical technique of submandibular salivary gland transfer in patients with head and neck cancer.
- Determine the rate and severity of radiation-induced xerostomia after this surgery in these patients.
- Determine the pattern of recurrence, disease-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this surgery followed by radiotherapy.
- Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients undergo surgical transfer of the submandibular salivary gland to the submental space.
Within 4-6 weeks after surgery, patients undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week for 5 ½ to 7 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Salivary scans are performed before surgery, at 2-3 weeks after surgery, and then at 6 months from the start of radiotherapy.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months from the start of radiotherapy.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years and then annually.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 11-48 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.6 years.

Number of Patients Scored as Having the Surgical Technique of Submandibular Salivary Gland Transfer Performed "Per Protocol"
時間枠:At the time of the submandibular salivary gland transfer
|
Surgery will be scored as "per protocol prescription" if scored as such by both central reviewers- the Study Chair and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Head and Neck Committee Surgical Chair.
If 21 or more of 43 subjects are scored as having surgery "per protocol prescription", then the technique will be considered reproducible with 80% power and 5% type I error using Simon's two stage design with unacceptable/acceptable rates set at 60%/80%.

Percentage of Patients With Acute Xerostomia
時間枠:From start of treatment to 90 days
|
The proportion of patients who experience grade 2 or higher xerostomia or start amifostine and/or pilocarpine within 90 days of the start of radiation therapy.
A proportion less than or equal to 51% would be considered acceptable based on the results of the U.S. Bioscience phase III amifostine trial (this trial preceded FDAAA requirements).

Percentage of Patients With Normal Functioning Transferred Submandibular Gland
時間枠:Pre-surgery, post-surgery (4-6 weeks), post radiation therapy (10-13 weeks)
|
Salivary gland functioning classified as "Non-functioning", "Minimal function", "Well-functioning but some impairment", "Normal functioning", or "Other" is determined by central review of scintigraphy scans using sodium pertechnetate (Na-99mTcO4-) with a sialagogue (lemon juice) administered halfway through the study to determine if secretory function is maintained.

Change From Baseline to One Year in Total Score on the Modified University of Washington Head and Neck Symptom Questionnaire
時間枠:Baseline and one year
|
The University of Washington Head and Neck Symptom Questionnaire, also referred to as the University of Washington Health Related Quality of Life tool (UW-QOL) was modified for use by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG).
The resulting UW-QOL-RTOG modification is a valid tool that can be used to assess symptom burden of head and neck cancer patients receiving radiation therapy or those who have recently completed radiation.
The UW-QOL-RTOG modification consists of 15 items with response options ranging from 10-50, in multiples of 10.
That is, the lowest symptom burden is rated as 10, while the highest symptom burden is rated as 50.
The individual item scores are averaged to obtain the final score which also ranges from 10 to 50.
This scoring results in a lower score indicating greater HR-QOL; and conversely, higher scores indicating lower health-related quality of life (HR-QOL).
Change = baseline score - one year score, such that a positive change score indicates improvement.

Adverse events are graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) v2.0.
Grade refers to the severity of the toxicity by assigning Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each toxicity based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild, Grade 2 Moderate, Grade 3 Severe, Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5 Death related to toxicity.
"Acute" refers to toxicities occurring less than or equal to 90 days from the start of radiation therapy.
