Prevention of Caries in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors Who Underwent Radiotherapy
One of the long-term side effects of head and neck radiotherapy (RT) is radiation-induced tooth decay. Hyposalivation, associated with radiation therapy, further increases caries susceptibility and caries progression, due to the lack of salivary protective effects and of tooth minerals useful for remineralization processes, especially calcium phosphate (CaP). Dental extractions …
RAdiotherapy With FDG-PET Guided Dose-PAINTing Compared With Standard Radiotherapy for Primary Head and Neck Cancer-3
The objective of the RADPAINT-3 trial is to investigate whether dose painting is safe compared to standard radiotherapy. RADPAINT-3 is a randomized, non-inferiority, multi-center phase II study, initiated at the Section for Head and Neck Cancer, Department of Oncology, Oslo University Hospital, accruing from first half of 2024. The primary …
Manual Therapy on Oral Opening, Swallow Function and Upper Quarter Mobility on Head and Neck Cancer Survivors
Trismus has been reported as the second most common comorbidity in survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC). It is mainly associated with post-radiotherapy subcutaneous fibrosis, muscular atrophy, damage to neurological structures in the neck, or a combination of all, affecting masticatory musculature. In addition to this, the loss of …
Clinical Trial of HG146 Administered to Participants with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
This is a Phase II, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of HG146 in participants with recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma. This study is divided into two stages. 40 participants will be enrolled in the first stage. The efficacy and safty data will apply …
Feasibility of Early Swallowing and Speech Intervention for Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated SURGically
Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with tongue cancer being one of the most common subtypes. Patients with oral cancers can experience painful swallowing, swallowing difficulty (dysphagia), and associated weight loss long after surgery. Not only is dysphagia an independent predictor of quality of …
Cognitive Outcomes After Brain Substructure-informed Radiation Planning in Pediatric Patients
The goal of this trial is to determine whether it is possible to minimize radiation dose to parts of the brain that are important for thinking and learning in children who require radiation to treat their tumor, and if this will help reduce neurocognitive (thinking and learning) impairments in these …
Radiotherapy vs. Trans-Oral Surgery for HPV-Negative Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The goal of this randomized phase II study is a formal comparison of radiotherapy versus trans-oral surgery as the primary treatment of HPV-negative patients with early-stage oropharyngeal carcinoma.
Ixovex-1 Single Agent and Combination Therapy
This is an open-label, dose de-escalating, non-randomised, multi-centre phase I/II study to determine safety and efficacy of the oncolytic virus, Ixovex-1 administered by intratumoural (IT) injection. This will be assessed in patients with palpable locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic tumours, for whom all approved therapeutic options have been exhausted, are …
A Study of Decreasing Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in People With Head and Neck Cancer
The purpose of this study is to test the treatment approach of de-escalated radiation and chemotherapy followed by a planned neck dissection surgery in people with head and neck cancer. The study will look at how effective the treatment approach is against participants' cancer.
Heavy Strength Training in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors
Despite improvements in treatments, head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) still endure acute and chronic side effects such as loss of muscular strength, limitations in physical functioning, fatigue, and swallowing difficulties that impact quality of life (QoL) and limit return to work. Light-to-moderate intensity strength training (LMST) has been shown …
