Brief Title: Individualized Radiation Dose Prescription in HNSCC Based on F-MISO-PET Hypoxia-Imaging
Official Title: Individualized Radiation Dose Prescription in HNSCC Based on F-MISO-PET Hypoxia-Imaging: Multi-center, Randomized Phase-II-trial
Study ID: NCT03865277
Brief Summary: The trial evaluates the value of radiation dose escalation based on Hypoxia detection by 18F_misonidazole Positron Emission Tomography (18F-MISO-PET) for primary radiochemotherapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Patients negative for human papillomavirus (HPV) and with hypoxic tumours after 2 weeks of radiochemotherapy are randomized to completion of standard radiochemotherapy or radiochemotherapy with escalated radiation dose. An additional interventional arm includes a carbon ion boost. HPV positive tumours can be included in a control arm. Primary endpoint is local tumour control 2 years after radiochemotherapy.
Detailed Description: Previous preclinical data and a prospective validated patient cohort have shown that patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, whose tumours are hypoxic after 2 weeks of primary radiochmeotherapy, have a significantly lower chance of locoregional tumour control. The multi-center trial evaluates the value of radiation dose escalation based on hypoxia detection by 18F_misonidazole Positron Emission Tomography (18F-MISO-PET) for primary radiochemotherapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Patients negative for human papillomavirus (HPV) and with hypoxic tumours after 2 weeks of radiochemotherapy are randomized to completion of standard radiochemotherapy (70 Gy) or radiochemotherapy with escalated radiation dose (77 Gy). An additional interventional arm includes a carbon ion boost to 77 Gy. HPV positive tumours can be included in a control arm. Primary endpoint is local tumour control 2 years after radiochemotherapy. Secondary endpoints include acute and late toxicity (CTCAE 5.0), regional tumor control, overall survival, disease free survival, distant metastases, kinetics analysis of dynamic FMISO-PET scans, Quality of life (QoL). The hypothesis is that local tumour control 2 years after radiochemotherapy is higher in the dose escalated compared to the control arm.
