NCT03618134

Brief Summary

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and how well stereotactic body radiation therapy and durvalumab with or without tremelimumab before surgery work in treating participants with human papillomavirus positive oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy and durvalumab with or without tremelimumab before surgery may work better in treating participants with oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of adverse events (Phase I safety lead-in) assessed Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v.) 4.03 criteria

    Data from all cycles of treatment will be combined in the presentation of safety data. AEs will be listed individually by patient.

    Up to 90 days after last dose

  • Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase II)

    The Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimate of the PFS function will be estimated and displayed. The median PFS time will be given with 95% confidence interval. Summaries of the number and percentage of patients experiencing a PFS event, and the type of event (RECIST v 1.1 or death) will be provided.

    From time of enrollment to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1 or death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years

  • Incidence of grade >= adverse events (Phase II)

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Overall survival (OS)

    From the time of enrollment to date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years

  • Primary tumor control determined by RECIST v. 1.1

    Up to 2 years

  • Distant recurrence rate

    Up to 2 years

  • Locoregional control rate

    Up to 2 years

  • Rate of contralateral neck failure

    Up to 2 years

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Cohort I (SBRT, durvalumab, TORS, neck dissection)

EXPERIMENTAL

Beginning day 0 of course 1, participants undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy 5 days a week for 1 week and receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour on days 0 and 27 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants then undergo transoral robotic surgery and modified radical neck dissection between weeks 6-8. Beginning week 12, participants then receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour every 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
