NCT02007200

Brief Summary

This phase II clinical trial studies how well soy isoflavones work in preventing head and neck cancer in patients with stage I-IV head and neck cancer undergoing surgery. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of soy isoflavones may prevent head and neck cancer recurrence.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean Percent Change in p16 Methylation (% CpG Sites Methylated) in Tumor Tissue After Soy Isoflavone

    The change in methylation will be analyzed in parallel using a linear repeated measures model. The fixed effects will be time (pre-treatment versus post-treatment), current smoking status (yes or no), their interaction, and tissue type (tumor or not). Satterthwaite's adjustment to the degrees of freedom will be applied to account for heteroscedasticity. The differential effect of soy isoflavone on tumor and non-tumor tissues between smokers and non-smokers will be assessed using linear contrasts.

    From baseline to surgery, up to 42 days

  • Correlations of Tumor p16 Methylation Status With Serum/Saliva Markers of p16, IL6, and VEGF

    Each of the tumor and mucosal markers will be dependent variables in repeated measures models that include serum and saliva markers as predictors. Graphical analyses will be used to characterize possible nonlinear relationships between variables. Linear or nonlinear regression, as appropriate, will be used to characterize the relationship between the putative predictors and outcomes. Subset analyses, considering, for example, differences in relationships between tumor markers and serum and saliva markers between smokers and non-smokers will be performed by means of indicator variables.

    Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The Number of Participants Alive at Follow-up

    Up to 24 months

  • The Number of Participants Alive Without Relapse at Last Follow-up

    Up to 24 months

Eligibility Criteria

Age19 Years - 79 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have pathologically-confirmed, resectable, squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx
  • Disease must be Stage I, II, III or IVa
  • Tumor must be potentially surgically resectable and curable with conventional surgery and radiation therapy
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0-2

You may not qualify if:

  • Documented evidence of distant metastases
  • Ongoing acute medical condition such as uncontrolled coronary artery disease, emphysema, or diabetes mellitus that would preclude surgical resection
  • Pregnancy or lactation; patients of child bearing age must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for the duration of soy administration
  • A medical or psychiatric illness which would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate this treatment or comply with administration of study drug
  • Patients residing in prison
  • Any patient with a history of breast or ovarian cancer
  • Allergy to soy products
