Thermoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Patients with head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy (RT) have a substantial change of recurrence of the tumor in the pharynx or lymph nodes in the neck. Once tumor and/or lymph nodes have recurred, the prognosis is poor. To increase the efficacy of RT, usually chemotherapy is added to …
DPYD Pharmacogenomics and Fluoropyrimidine (FP) Dose-Adjustment
To prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of DPYD-guided dosing strategies in a real-world clinical setting, specifically by comparing the incidence of severe (Grade 3 and 4) fluoropyrimidine-related toxicities of heterozygous DPYD variant patients assigned to DPYD-guided reduced dosing versus patients with standard dosing in the control arm.
The Hypotension Prediction Index in Free Flap Transplant in Head and Neck Surgery.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) on the degree of intraoperative hypotension in patients undergoing free flap surgery. The hypothesis is that implementation of the HPI algorithm will reduce the time-weighted average (TWA) intraoperative hypotension below a threshold of …
PIRATES: Image-guided Hyper-fractioned Dose-escalation With Proton Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer
In this study the safety & feasibility of image-guided mid-treatment hyper-fractioned dose-escalation with proton therapy will be assessed for the treatment of locally advanced HPV-negative squamous cell oropharyngeal cancer
Atorvastatin to Reduce Cisplatin-Induced Hearing Loss Among Individuals With Head and Neck Cancer
Background Cisplatin is used to treat head and neck cancer. People who take this drug are at risk for hearing loss. Atorvastatin is a drug used to treat high cholesterol. It might reduce the risk of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Objective To find out if atorvastatin reduces hearing loss in people …
Personalized, Adaptive Treatment for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
This clinical trial will assess whether or not blood based biomarker testing can be used to personalize cancer treatment for patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.
Evaluation of On-Couch CBCT Image Quality
This is a prospective, single-arm, single-site study designed to generate data describing the image quality and applicability/useability of a high-performance, on-couch CBCT imaging technology (HyperSight) in patients receiving radiation treatment for cancer on a C-arm linear accelerator (TrueBeam).
Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound for Sentinel Node Detection
This is a prospective single-center interventional non-inferiority study where subjects are participating for one day for patients 18 years or older with melanoma, breast cancer or head \& neck cancer (including melanoma of head and neck area) and scheduled for a surgical SN procedure in the NKI-AvL without any contra-indication …
Autologous CAR-T Cells Targeting CSPG4 in Relapsed/Refractory HNSCC
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the CSPG4 antigen (iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells) in patients with head and neck cancer that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The …
Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head & Neck Cancer Patients, Pilot Study
Some head and neck cancer survivors develop velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD), a problem with closure between the soft palate and throat that can cause nasal-sounding speech, food or liquid leaking into the nose, difficulty swallowing, and reduced quality of life. This study aims to better understand VPD in this population and …
