This is an interventional treatment trial for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

I1. Male or Female patients ≥18 years of age or older. I2. Histologically or cytologically proven metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (from head and neck, oesophagus, lung, cervix, vagina, vulva or anus) with the following features:

  • Previously treated with at least one prior regimen (chemotherapy, signal transduction inhibitors or radiotherapy)
  • To be treated with radiotherapy at primary tumor site or metastatic site or menacing metastatic site.
  • The sites of metastases allowed are: soft tissue, peripheral lung, and liver.
  • Patients with brain and bone metastasis to be treated with radiotherapy are not allowed. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis can be included.
  • The total tumor volume to be irradiated must not exceed 400 cc. I3. At least one tumor lesion must be accessible to radiation therapy and at least another tumor site can be spared from radiation therapy (unirradiated site). I4. At least one unirradiated and one irradiated tumor site must be accessible to tumor biopsy.

I5. Known availability of an archived block I6. The irradiated and unirradiated tumor sites must be measurable as per RECIST 1.1 I7. Patients must have no history of previous radiation therapy within the body area to be irradiated.

Examples of the latter include basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ carcinoma of the cervix, and isolated elevation of prostate-specific antigen. Patients with a completely treated prior malignancy and no evidence of disease for ≥ 2 years are eligible.

E3. Patients with tumors that invade major vessels, as shown unequivocally by imaging studies

E4. Patients with central lung metastasis (i.e within 2 cm from hilum) that are cavitary as shown unequivocally by imaging studies

E6. Major surgery within the last 4 weeks prior to entering the study

E8. Current or planned use of forbidden concomitant medications :

  • Any investigational anticancer therapy not specified in this protocol
  • Any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormones for noncancer-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
  • Immunosuppressive medications including, but not limited to systemic corticosteroids at doses exceeding 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent, methotrexate, azathioprine, and TNF-α blockers. Use of immunosuppressive medications for the management of investigational product-related AEs or in subjects with contrast allergies is acceptable. In addition, use of topical, inhaled and intranasal corticosteroids is permitted.
