Circulating Tumor DNA-Informed Adjuvant Therapy for Intermediate-Risk Head and Neck Cancer
Phase II Trial of Drain Fluid Circulating Tumor DNA-Informed Adjuvant Therapy for Intermediate-Risk Head and Neck Cancer
This study is being done to determine whether an assay called LymphDetect™ Head and Neck is a useful tool to help guide treatment decisions for patients with head and neck cancer. The LymphDetect™ assay works to detect a certain kind of DNA that is released by tumors called circulating tumor DNA or ctDNA for short. In this study, the presence of ctDNA will be assessed in fluid collected from the surgical drain that will be placed during curative-intent surgical procedure performed as a part of patient standard care. Treatment after surgery is determined by a patient's disease risk category (low-risk, intermediate-risk, or high-risk). Having intermediate-risk with detection of ctDNA in the surgical drain fluid (SDF+) may mean that a patient is at greater risk of their cancer coming back. To reduce this risk, treatment will be more intensive than if ctDNA in the surgical drain fluid (SDF-) was not found.

详细说明
Patients who are Surgical Drain Fluid (SDF) positive have a more than eight-fold higher risk of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma disease recurrence. Whether these pathologically intermediate-risk patients benefit from the addition of concurrent cisplatin to adjuvant radiotherapy is unknown. Various prognostic biomarkers have been proposed to identify patients at high risk of recurrence. Tissue-based biomarkers may be less prognostic after successful tumor extirpation. Several plasma-based ctDNA assays measuring treatment response in HPV- HNSCC are under investigation. However, data is limited on the role of such assays for the detection of molecular residual disease (MRD) after surgery, particularly for risk-informed adjuvant treatment decision making. Tumor-informed ctDNA from postoperative SDF, taken 24 hours after surgery, has been shown to be a promising biomarker for individualizing recurrence risk. The LymphDetect™ Head & Neck system, will be used to measure circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in surgical drain fluid, the most proximal biofluid to a recently resected tumor, to assess cancer recurrence risk at the source of potential spread - before it can travel to other parts of the body. There is a critical need to improve recurrence risk estimates for patients with HPV- HNSCC to inform the extent of adjuvant management, improve oncologic outcomes, and limit unnecessary treatment morbidity and mortality.

描述
Inclusion Criteria:

Must have histologically or cytologically confirmed newly diagnosed mucosal HNSCC (i.e., oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx).
o Patients with intermediate-risk disease (stage cT2N0 with adverse pathologic features OR stage cT3-4Nany OR stage cTanyN1-3a) will be preferentially enrolled.
-
Must have received no prior therapies for current malignancy, except for neoadjuvant pembrolizumab.
-
Must be able to undergo curative-intent surgical resection with neck dissection and placement of a drain.
-
Patient is considered a candidate for adjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin) and radiation based on the clinical judgment of the treating investigator. This decision should be made based upon the patient's pre-operative assessment performed as part of the standard of care.
-
Age ≥18 years.
-
Performance status ECOG 0-2
-
Sexually active, fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception prior to study entry, during the course of the study, and for 30 days after the last dose of chemotherapy and/or radiation (whichever is later). In addition, men must agree not to donate sperm and women must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocyte) for the purpose of reproduction during these same periods.
-
Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breastfeeding at screening. Female subjects are considered to be of childbearing potential unless one of the following criteria is met:
o Permanent sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or documented postmenopausal status (defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman > 45 years of age in the absence of other biological or physiological causes). Note: Documentation may include review of medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview by study site staff.
-
Must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer
- Nasopharyngeal cancer
- Sinonasal cancer
- Prior or recurrent HNSCC
- Distant metastasis
- Other active malignancy, other than nonmetastatic skin, prostate, or thyroid malignancy

Humanized monoclonal antibody and a PD-1 inhibitor used in cancer immunotherapy that differs from chemotherapy as it does not directly kill cancer cells but stimulates the immune system, particularly T-cells, to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.
