cDNA and Residual Disease After Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Evaluation of Circulating DNA as a Biomarker of Residual Disease After Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Head and Necksquamous Cell Carcinoma


Sponsor

Centre Jean Perrin

Enrollment

59 participants

Start Date

Oct 13, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this ancillary clinical trial is to evaluated circulating DNA as a biomarker of residual disease after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carninoma. The main question it aims to answer is : \- Does circulating DNA (cDNA) be able to detect residual disease 3 months after the end of chemoradiotherapy ? Researchers will compare detection of cDNA at 3-months and objective response (clinical and radiological). Participants will : * be included in the main study (Neck-TAR) * have a blood sample 1 and 3-month after the end of treatment

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study — called NeckTAR-IN — is investigating whether circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) found in blood samples can detect residual cancer remaining after chemoradiotherapy in people with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to help doctors identify who needs additional treatment after radiation and chemotherapy. **You may be eligible if...** - You are already enrolled in the parent NeckTAR study - You have signed written informed consent specifically for this sub-study (NeckTAR-IN) - You are covered by the French social security system **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not already a participant in the NeckTAR study - You have not provided written informed consent for this study - You are not covered by the French social security system Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
