Exploratory Study of Early Biomarkers Allowing Dynamic Assessment of Response to Treatment in Cancers of the Head and Neck


Sponsor

Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Mar 9, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

DART is an exploratory molecular analysis study to assess potential early biomarkers of treatment response in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC)


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting blood samples from people with recurrent, advanced, or metastatic head and neck cancer who are receiving immunotherapy, to search for early blood-based markers (called biomarkers) that could predict how well the immunotherapy is working — potentially allowing doctors to monitor response without repeated biopsies. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You have a confirmed head and neck cancer that has come back, spread, or is not curable with standard treatments - You are currently receiving immunotherapy - You can give consent and provide blood samples at multiple time points **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to undergo regular blood sample collection - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

GENETICCirculating tumour DNA dynamics

Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can be identified in patients with a wide variety of cancers and has been shown to allow early prediction of disease relapse after treatment with curative intent in HNSCC.
