The Hamlet.rt study is a prospective data collection and patient questionnaire study for patients undergoing image-guided radiotherapy with curative intent.

The aim of the study is to use novel machine learning and mathematical techniques to build a model that can predict the risk of significant side effects from radiotherapy treatment for an individual patient: using calculations of normal tissue dose from radiotherapy treatment planning and patient baseline characteristics derived from image and non-image data, continuously updated as the patient is reviewed both during and after treatment.

A secondary goal of the project is to facilitate research in machine learning and medical image processing for radiation therapy through the creation of a discoverable and shared data resource for research use.

Heuristics, Algorithms and Machine Learning: Evaluation & Testing in Radiation Therapy

Hamlet-RT: Heuristics, Algorithms and Machine Learning: Evaluation & Testing in Radiation Therapy

Characterise machine learning models for the four disease sites. Developing machine learning algorithms for autosegmentation of normal tissue anatomy, and to extend machine learning algorithms to identify and segment normal tissue structures in cone beam CT images, and to utilise the ML segmentations to evaluate image signatures correlated with treatment toxicity

Predict performance matches with published techniques. Combining the machine learning models in outcome 1, with pre-treatment assessment data and on-treatment quantitative assessments in outcome 3 for the construction and evaluation of a predictive mathematical model

Evaluation of the clinical toxicity experienced by each patient up to 5 years post radiotherapy to inform the predictive models in outcome 2

Three days before the start of radiotherapy (Day -3), participants received a single intravenous (IV) bolus injection of matching placebo. During radiotherapy (beginning on Day 1), participants received a weekly single IV bolus injection of matching placebo after the last radiation fraction of that week (usually on Fridays) until grade ≥3 oral mucositis occurred, or for a maximum 8 doses (completion of radiotherapy). Participants also received cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 on days 1, 22 and 43.

Three days before the start of radiotherapy (Day -3), participants received a single intravenous (IV) bolus injection of palifermin at 120 μg/kg. During radiotherapy (beginning on Day 1), participants received a weekly single IV bolus injection of palifermin at 120 μg/kg after the last radiation fraction of that week (usually on Fridays) until grade ≥3 oral mucositis occurred, or for a maximum 8 doses (completion of radiotherapy). Participants also received cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 on days 1, 22 and 43.

Oral Mucositis associated with adjuvant radiation and concurrent chemotherapy in postoperative Head and Neck setting

This study consisted of 2 phases. The acute oral mucositis (OM) evaluation phase includes the time from randomization to the time of severe OM (WHO Grade 3 or 4) resolution (up to Week 12 or up to Week 15 for participants whose severe OM is not resolved at Week 12). In the acute OM evaluation phase, participants were randomized to receive either a single IV bolus dose of palifermin or placebo at 120 μg/kg, 3 days before the start of radiotherapy, plus 7 once-weekly palifermin or placebo doses at the same dose level during a 7-week radio/chemotherapy course. In the long-term follow up phase, participants are followed until death, withdrawal of consent, or loss to follow-up. The long-term follow up phase is still ongoing.

A Study of Palifermin for the Reduction of Oral Mucositis in Patients With Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer Receiving Postoperative Radiotherapy and Concurrent Chemotherapy

A Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Preliminary Efficacy of Weekly Doses of Palifermin (rHuKGF) for the Reduction of Oral Mucositis in Subjects With Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) Receiving Postoperative Radiotherapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy

An adverse event is an undesirable medical occurrence (sign, symptom, or diagnosis) or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring after start of study drug up to the end of acute oral mucositis (OM) evaluation phase, whether or not considered to be study drug related. If severe OM was not resolved by Week 12, AEs were documented until resolution of severe OM or Week 15, whichever occurred first. A serious AE is any event that is fatal, life threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, is a persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. The intensity of AEs was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3 based on the following: Grade 1 = Mild AE, Grade 2 = Moderate AE, Grade 3 = Severe AE, Grade 4 = Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5 = Death related to AE. A Protocol-specific Limiting Toxicity (PSLT) is any non-hematologic Grade 3 or 4 AE considered related to study drug.

The effect of palifermin on cell proliferation was to be assayed by staining for the cell cycle proliferation marker Ki67 in buccal mucosal biopsy samples taken prior to the first dose and either 24 or 48 hours after the first dose. Due to the small sample size, this analysis was not performed.

Due to the small sample size this analysis was not performed.

The adapted RTOG/EORTC mucositis assessment scale as follows: Grade 0 = no change; Grade 1 = mild enanthema, mild pain; Grade 2 = patchy mucositis, moderate edema, moderate pain; Grade 3 = confluent fibrinous mucositis, massive edema, massive pain; Grade 4 = extensive ulceration, confluent necrosis, massive hemorrhage.

Due to the small sample size this analysis was not performed.

The average patient-reported mouth and throat soreness (MTS) score as reported on question 3 of the Oral Mucositis Questionnaire for Head and Neck Cancer \[OMQ-HN\]): "How much mouth and throat soreness did you experience in the past 24 hours?" Participants answered on a scale from 0 (no soreness) to 4 (extreme soreness).

Due to the small sample size this analysis was not performed.

Disease progression was determined by clinical examination and histopathologic examination by the Investigator.
