This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 1B/2 study to assess the safety and efficacy of tabelecleucel in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of subjects with platinum-pretreated, recurrent/metastatic Epstein-Barr Virus-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (EBV+ NPC).

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 1B/2 study to assess the safety and efficacy of tabelecleucel in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of subjects with platinum-pretreated, recurrent/metastatic EBV+ NPC.

Tabelecleucel will be selected for each subject from the bank of available tabelecleucel cell products based on matching ≥ 2 human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, at least one of which is a restricting HLA allele, shared between the tabelecleucel donor and the subject's EBV+ NPC. Sites will provide high resolution HLA typing of the subject and other information as required by the protocol.

Phase 1B will identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) for tabelecleucel in combination with pembrolizumab in up to 24 subjects. In the absence of an MTD, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be identified. Phase 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination in 36 subjects at the recommended dose level from Phase 1B.

The benefits of this new material, as demonstrated in animal studies and preliminary studies in man, could provide the answer to problems encountered by surgeons in the field of phonatory implants. This novel application is a step towards resolving the very real problems which still exist in the field today. The functional concept, which will allow better control over integrating implants in tissue, should also, it is hoped, favour cellular colonization, thereby fulfilling a currently unmet medical need. The aim is to avoid well-identified potential complications linked to the use of silicone-only implants (with or without a surface coating), like leakage around the prosthesis (by cellular colonization), and so reduce the risk of protrusion/extrusion of the prosthesis as far as possible, and to avoid trauma to the peri-prosthetic tissues by repeated interventions

This is a trial studying patients with human papilloma virus (HPV) positive oropharyngeal cancer with tumors that can be removed via transoral surgery. Following surgery, patients will be classified as either low, intermediate, or high risk based on the characteristics of the tumors. Low risk patients (Arm S) will receive no further treatment after surgery. Intermediate risk patients (Arm RT) will be treated with Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) after surgery. High risk patients (Arm CRT) will receive a combination of IMRT and chemotherapy after surgery. Patients will be followed for up to five years after the completion of treatment.

This phase II trial is designed to rationally de-escalate adjuvant (Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) in the post-transoral surgery (TOS) setting in a study population consisting of patients with resectable oropharynx carcinoma, p16+ as confirmed by immunohistochemistry IHC, with a performance status (PS) of 0-1. Patients will be classified into one of three category/treatment groups (low-, intermediate-, and high-risk) according to their highest pathologically risk feature. Radiation will be given via an IMRT technique. For the high-risk patient group, a reduced, but slightly accelerated radiotherapy (RT) fractionation regimen of 50 Gy (HCC 18-034) in conjunction with cisplatin will be used compared to the standard 66 Gy and cisplatin. Low risk patients will transition to observation, intermediate risk patients will receive 30 Gy in 15 fractions of IMRT, and high risk patients will receive 50 Gy in 25 fractions (one day a week will include two treatments) plus 40 mg/m2 Cisplatin for 5 weeks. Patients who are not able to tolerate cisplatin will receive carboplatin instead.

Time to recurrence, defined as local and/or regional progression (identification of disease growth that is present within the area in which it was first located) and/or distant metastasis (identification of disease growth that is present in area(s) distant to that previously located). Local progression is defined as progression at the primary tumor site. Regional progression is defined as progression in the draining lymphatics (typically the cervical, retropharyngeal/retrostyloid and supraclavicular lymph nodes). Distant progression is defined as tumor recurrence in one or more non-local and non-regional sites (e.g., bone, lung, liver, etc.). Recurrent malignancy will be determined based on clinical exam and imaging findings. Patients who are disease-free but who die from other causes will be censored.

Loco-regional control will be evaluated based on the percentage of patients without recurrence (identification of disease growth) in the primary site or regional lymphatics based on imaging and/or clinical exam.

Percentage of patients with distant metastasis (identification of disease growth that is present in area(s) distant to that previously located) evident on imaging and/or clinical exam. Distant metastasis is defined as tumor recurrence in one or more non-local (at the primary tumor) and non-regional (draining lymphatic) sites such as bone, lung, liver, etc.

Overall survival will be measured as the time from start of treatment to death from any cause.

The percentage of total patients enrolled in the study allocated to low (Arm S), intermediate (Arm RT) and high risk (Arm CRT) groups. Histologic risk features are defined as follows: Low risk (ARM S) - T1-T2 AND 0 or 1 metastatic lymph nodes AND \<3 cm AND clear (≥3mm) margins AND no extracapsular extension (ECE) AND no perineural invasion AND no lymphovascular invasion; Intermediate risk (ARM RT) - Any of the following features: One or more close (\<3mm) margins, OR "minimal" ≤1 mm ECE OR 1 or more metastatic lymph nodes \>3 cm in diameter OR 2-4 lymph nodes positive (≤ 6 cm in diameter), OR perineural invasion OR lymphovascular invasion; High risk (ARM CRT) - Any of the following features: One or more positive margins OR \>1 mm ECE OR ≥ 5 metastatic lymph nodes.

The percentage of patients that have a feeding tube, by Arm, for the low (Arm S), intermediate (Arm RT) and high risk (Arm CRT) groups following treatment with transoral resection and adjuvant therapy.

Number of patients experiencing toxicities related to study treatment per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0) determined at each follow-up summarized by frequency and grade.

FACT-HN is a self-administered questionnaire. Item responses are on a Likert scale score ranging from 0 to 4. Individual responses are summed to compute subscale scores, and the subscales to compute overall total scores. FACT-HN includes 2 parts - FACT-G and FACT-HN. The basic FACT-G (general) is comprised of 27 items, with four subscales including Physical Well-Being (score = 0-28), Social/Family Well-Being (score= 0-28), Emotional Well-Being (score = 0-24), and Functional Well-Being, (score = 0-28), for a total score min/max = 0-108. The FACT-HN is comprised of 12 head and neck specific items (0-48). Thus, the overall total possible score range is 0-156. Analysis will include the FACT Head \& Neck Trial Outcome Index, a composite score which includes only physical, functional, and FACT-HN, thus, scores range from 0-104. Higher scores indicate better Quality of Life.

Patient-reported swallowing perception and performance using MDASI-HN measures treatment related symptom burden in head and neck cancer patients. The 20-item MDASI measures both severity and burden of symptoms and their effect on patients' daily activities, using a numeric rating scale of 0-10. This instrument includes 13 core symptoms and 9 head and neck specific items. Higher scores indicate superior perception of function.

Three swallowing outcomes will be rated by the SLP conducting the MBS study and reported by research staff: 1) laryngeal penetration (yes, no); 2) aspiration (no, sensate, silent), and 3) pharyngeal residue (no, \< 50%, \> 50%). These have been selected as universal items generally reported by swallowing clinicians that have been shown to significantly predict pneumonia in patients with oropharyngeal cancers. Prevalence of these dysphagia endpoints will be estimated at each time point.

Patient-reported voice outcomes will be assessed using the Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) survey. The VHI-10 is a patient self-assessment instrument that quantifies patients' perception of their voice handicap. It evaluates patient's physical (P), emotional (E), and functional (F) perceptions of voice and has shown to be highly reliable for internal consistency and test-retest stability. The VHI-10 utilizes a 10-item questionnaire in which the patient circles the response that most accurately reflects his or her own experience on a linear scale (from "never" to "always"). "Always" response is scored 4 points, a "Never" response is scored 0. The remaining options are scored between 1 and 3 points. The tallied number of points for each of the subscales is computed to a total composite score. The patient's values are compared to published norms.

The Performance Status Scale (PSS-HN) is a clinician-rated instrument consisting of 3 questions: normalcy of diet, public eating/swallowing, and understandability of speech subscales in patients with head and neck cancer. Each subscale is rated from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better performance.

Patient-reported swallowing-related quality of life will be measured using the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI). It evaluates the patient's physical (P), emotional (E) and functional (F) perceptions of swallowing dysfunction. The MDADI is a 20-item questionnaire in which the patient circles the response that best reflects their experience in the past week on a 5-point Likert Scale with answers ranging from "Strongly Agree" (scored as 1 point on all questions except E7 and F2, where it is scored as 5 points) to "Strongly Disagree" (scored as 5 points on all questions except E7 and F2, where it is scored as 1 point). Scores for individual questions are summed and averaged to obtain a composite score ranging from 20 (extremely low swallow functioning) to 100 (high swallow functioning).

cisplatin (associated to radiotherapy)

Stefano M Magrini, Prof

BACKGROUND:

Concomitant radiotherapy and cisplatin (CDDP) based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for LA-NHSCC. This combined modality treatment is linked with considerable acute local and systemic toxicity.EGFR is overexpressed in 90-100% of the HNSCC cases and is considered an unfavourable prognostic marker. EGFR costitutive activation is linked with HNSCC pathogenesis.

Cetuximab is a monoclonal anti-EGFR antibody blocking the activation of the receptor and signal transduction. Cetuximab combined with radiotherapy is superior to radiotherapy only in the treatment of LA-HNSCC and is characterized by an acceptable toxicity profile.

RATIONALE:

A direct comparison between concomitant chemoradiotherapy with Cisplatin and the concomitant treatment with radiotherapy associated to cetuximab does not exist.

STUDY DESIGN:

Arm A: Radical radiotherapy (doses and volumes) concomitant with chemotherapy with Cisplatin (40 mg/mq/week) Arm B: Radical radiotherapy (doses and volumes) concomitant with therapy with the monoclonal antibody Cetuximab (400 mg/m2 \["loading dose"\] and subsequently 250 mg /m2/week)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Evaluation and comparison of the compliance of the two treatments;

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

Evaluation and comparison of the grade and incidence of acute toxicity; Evaluation and comparison of local control; Evaluation and comparison of event free survival (both local control and distant metastases); Evaluation and comparison of cause specific and overall survival.
