Feasibility Testing a Decision-support Intervention for Clinical Trials
A decision-support intervention are developed for a Danish nationwide randomised controlled trial (RCT) among patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer referred to curative intended radiotherapy. The primary endpoints in this RCT are levels of dysphagia and xerostomia. The decision-support intervention consists of three components, including (1) a patient decision aid …
The EMINENCE Study - PET/MR Imaging of Head Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancers (HNC) often receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment. However, unacceptable failure rates and severe side effects remain a challenge. The improvements in radiotherapy are closely related to improvements in medical imaging. Functional imaging, where intratumoural characteristics such as tumour oxygenation, metabolism, and blood vessel function …
The SWOAR Trial Sparing of Swallowing and Aspiration Related Organs at Risk & Submandibular Gland With Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Versus Standard IMRT in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas
The aim of SWOAR TRIAL is to test sparing of Dysphagia/ Aspiration risk structures (DARS) and contra lateral submandibular gland by IMRT. HNSCC of the oropharynx, larynx and the hypopharynx treated with radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy will be included in the trial. Patients will be randomized to SWOAR IMRT …
Head and Neck Cancer Study Project in the Geriatric Population
This is a study conducted in patients with a diagnosis of stage IB-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Patients will have a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) as part of standard assessments. The patients classified as frail, with a CGA score of 3-5, will then be treated with …
Radiation Field, Dose and Fractionation Related to Mandibular Complications
Radiotherapy is inhibiting the healing capacity of the mandibular bone. Late complications as bone exposure, fracture of the jaw, osteoradionecrosis might be a consequence of this vulnerability. A factor that could be involved in the development of complications is field of radiation. There are limited number of studies investigating this …
Preventive Physical Activity Intervention in Head and Neck Cancer
The study includes patients with tumors of the oropharynx, larynx and hypopharynx scheduled to receive radiotherapy with curative intent (+/- chemotherapy). The patients will be randomized into either an intervention group (performing a preventive physical activity protocol before and during radiotherapy) or a control group not performing a specified physical …
Ozone Therapy With Biomimetic Oral Care for Cancer-Related Oral Mucositis
Oral mucositis is a frequent and often debilitating complication of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, particularly in patients treated for head and neck cancers. It is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the oral mucosa, leading to pain, difficulty swallowing, taste disturbances, dry mouth, and impairment of daily activities. In more severe …
Open Label Phase 2 Basket Trial With Atezolizumab and Tiragolumab in Solid Tumors
In this open label phase II trial combination therapy with the anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab and the anti-TIGIT antibody tiragolumab will be investigated in patients with localized HNSCC who will undergo surgery, advanced or metastatic MSI-H cancer, PD-1 resistant metastatic melanoma, and patients with a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor …
Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a blood-based test that measures dying or dead cancer cells that are already circulating in the blood. In this study, the investigators will enroll patients who are planning to receive surgery to remove their head and neck cancer. The investigators are interested to learn how …
Stereotactic MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Mesencephalotomy
This phase 1 multi-site study investigates the safety and initial effectiveness of focused ultrasound lesioning of the contralateral mesencephalon for severe, opioid-resistant pain associated with head and neck cancer and brachial cancer.
