Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reduced-intensity Therapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer in Non-smoking HPV-16 Positive Patients (NCT NCT01663259)
NCT ID: NCT01663259
Last Updated: 2021-01-19
Results Overview
Number of patients whose tumors recur (includes local, regional, and distant recurrence; and second primaries). Note: Research indicates that freedom from local and regional progression (FFLRP) is a more meaningful measure. Therefore, the percentage of patients with FFLRP is included below as a Post-Hoc measure.

Cetuximab + Radiotherapy
Patients received a single loading dose public) of cetuximab 400 mg/m (Day 0), then weekly cetuximab 250 mg/m concurrent with radiation. Within approximately 4 days after first (loading) dose of cetuximab, patients received radiation administered as 70 Gy in 35 fractions to the gross tumor, 50-60 Gy to subclinical target volumes.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 2 yearsNumber of patients whose tumors recur (includes local, regional, and distant recurrence; and second primaries). Note: Research indicates that freedom from local and regional progression (FFLRP) is a more meaningful measure. Therefore, the percentage of patients with FFLRP is included below as a Post-Hoc measure.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 3 yearsIn order to evaluate the toxicity in patients receiving cetuximab-RT, adverse events were clustered into three categories: None, Mild-Moderate (grade 1 or 2), and Severe (grade 3 or 4). Graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4).

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 3 yearsToxicities are measured by number of participants who experience one or more types or indicator of toxicity, shown as all grades and grades 3-4. As each participant could have multiple toxicities, the number of incidents outnumbers the number of participants. Toxicities graded according to the CTCAE v4.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Day 7Population: 7 participants had a sample size sufficient for EGFR analysis.
Normal mucosa EGFR was assessed for comparison with EGFR in tumor sample. The fold change in tumor EGFR level post/pre loading dose of cetuximab, relative to fold change in normal mucosa EGFR level post/pre loading dose of cetuximab was summarized across all participants who had an evaluable tumor sample and normal mucosa sample. The value reported is the ratio of fold change in tumor/fold change in buccal EGFR.
