Brief Summary:
This phase II/III trial studies how well a reduced dose of radiation therapy works with nivolumab compared to cisplatin in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that is early in its growth and may not have spread to other parts of the body (early-stage), and is not associated with smoking. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if a reduced dose of radiation therapy and nivolumab works as well as standard dose radiation therapy and cisplatin in treating patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase II) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Will be estimated for all treatment arms using the Kaplan-Meier method (1958). The primary phase IIR endpoint will be tested using a confidence interval (CI) approach.

  2. PFS (Phase III) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Will be estimated for all treatment arms using the Kaplan-Meier method (1958). The co-primary phase III endpoint will be tested using a confidence interval (CI) approach.

  3. Quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 years ]
    Measured by the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) global quality of life (QOL) score. Will be compared between arms using a two-sample independent t-test at a one-sided significance level of 0.05 for each experimental arm comparison. MDADI global score and change from baseline will be summarized using mean and standard deviation at each time point for each arm.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Locoregional failure [ Time Frame: From the time of randomization to the date of failure, date of precluding event, or last known follow-up date, assessed up to 6 years ]
    The cumulative incidence estimator will be used to estimate time to event distributions for locoregional failure between arm differences tested using cause-specific log-rank test.

  2. Distant failure [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
  3. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization to the date of death or last known follow-up date, with patients alive at the last known follow-up time treated as censored, assessed up to 6 years ]
    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and treatment arms compared using the log-rank test (Kaplan 1958).

  4. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Measured by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Adverse events (AEs) will be graded using CTCAE version (v)5.0. Counts of all AEs by grade will be provided by treatment arm. Counts and frequencies will be provided for the worst grade AE experienced by the patient by treatment arm. The number of patients with at least 1 grade 3 or higher AE will be compared between the treatment arms. A comparison between treatment arms of grade 3 and higher AEs related to treatment will also be tested. A comparison of grade 3 and higher events will be compared between treatment arms. All comparisons will be tested using a Chi-Square test, or Fisher's exact test if cell frequencies are < 5, with a significance level of 0.05.

  5. Hearing [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 months from end of radiation therapy (RT) ]
    Measured as Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults-Screening (HHIA-S).

  6. Quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 months from end of RT ]
    Measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)-Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)30.

  7. Fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) locoregional control [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Will be associated with PFS.

  8. Negative predictive value of post-RT FDG-PET/CT for locoregional control [ Time Frame: At 1 and 2 years ]
    The negative predictive value of FDG-PET/CT for locoregional control will be estimated using binomial proportions and confidence intervals based on normal approximation.

  9. Negative predictive value of post-RT FDG-PET/CT for PFS [ Time Frame: At 1 and 2 years ]
    The negative predictive value of FDG-PET/CT PFS will be estimated using binomial proportions and confidence intervals based on normal approximation.

  10. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Measured using Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO)-CTCAE. For each symptom, counts and frequencies will be provided for the worst score experienced by the patient by treatment arm. The proportion of patients with scores >= 1 and >= 3 will be compared between groups using a Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test if cell frequencies are < 5, using a significance level of 0.05. Analysis of changes in patient reported outcomes over time will analyzed by fitting generalized estimating equations (GEE) models using a logit link (dichotomizing the symptom scores as 0 vs. > 1 and 0-2 vs. 3-4) with time of assessment, treatment arm, and treatment-by-time interaction terms in the model.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 months from end of RT ]
    Measured by EuroQol-5 Dimensional- 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L).

  2. Swallowing physiology [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    Measured by a Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) test. The proportion of aspiration for each arm will be estimated assuming a binomial distribution and between arm comparison will be performed using a Fisher's exact test.

  3. Locoregional control for patients with post-RT FDG-PET/CT [ Time Frame: At 12-14 weeks post-RT ]
    Locoregional control rates will be compared between negative and positive/undetermined patients. Cox proportional hazards models will be used to determine whether there are differences between these two groups, while adjusting for treatment arm and other covariates (cause-specific Cox models for locoregional failure).

  4. PFS for patients with post-RT FDG-PET/CT [ Time Frame: At 12-14 weeks post-RT ]
    PFS rates will be compared between negative and positive/undetermined patients. Cox proportional hazards models will be used to determine whether there are differences between these two groups, while adjusting for treatment arm and other covariates (cause-specific Cox models for locoregional failure).

Layout table for eligibility information
Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (including the histological variants papillary squamous cell carcinoma and basaloid squamous cell carcinoma but not neuroendocrine phenotype) of the oropharynx (tonsil, base of tongue, soft palate, or oropharyngeal walls); cytologic diagnosis from a cervical lymph node is sufficient in the presence of clinical evidence of a primary tumor in the oropharynx. Clinical evidence should be documented, may consist of palpation, imaging, or endoscopic evaluation, and should be sufficient to estimate the size of the primary (for T stage)
  • Patients must have clinically or radiographically evident measurable disease at the primary site or at nodal stations. Simple tonsillectomy or local excision of the primary without removal of nodal disease is permitted, as is excision removing gross nodal disease but with intact primary site. Limited neck dissections retrieving =< 4 nodes are permitted and considered as non-therapeutic nodal excisions

  • P16-positive based on local site immunohistochemical tissue staining (defined as greater than 70% strong diffuse nuclear or nuclear and cytoplasmic staining of tumor cells). Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy specimens may be used as the sole diagnostic tissue. Centers are encouraged to contact the pathology chair for clarification

    • Note: Institutions must screen patients, whose tumors must be p16-positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in order to be eligible for the trial using a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory. A rigorous laboratory accreditation process similar to the United States (U.S.) CLIA certification, such as the provincial accreditation status offered by the Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) Program in Canada, the College of American Pathologists (CAP), or an equivalent accreditation in other countries, is acceptable. The p16-positive results must be reported on the pathology report being submitted

  • Clinical stage T1-2, N1, M0 (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC], 8th edition [ed.]) or T3, N0-N1, M0 (AJCC, 8th ed.) including no distant metastases based on the following diagnostic workup:

    • General history and physical examination within 56 days prior to registration;
    • Exam with laryngopharyngoscopy (mirror or in office direct procedure acceptable) within 70 days prior to registration;

    • One of the following imaging studies is required within 56 days prior to registration:

      • FDG-PET/CT of the neck and chest (with or without contrast); FDG-PET/CT scan is strongly preferred and highly recommended to be used for eligibility OR
      • Chest CT (with or without contrast)

    • One of the following imaging studies is required within 28 days prior to registration:

      • A diagnostic CT scan of neck (with contrast and of diagnostic quality) OR
      • An magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck (with contrast and of diagnostic quality)
      • Note: A diagnostic quality CT or MRI with contrast or FDG-PET/CT scan of neck performed for the purposes of radiation planning may serve as both staging and planning tools

  • Patients must provide their personal smoking history prior to registration. The lifetime cumulative history cannot exceed 10 pack-years. The following formula is used to calculate the pack-years during the periods of smoking in the patient's life; the cumulative total of the number of pack-years during each period of active smoking is the lifetime cumulative history

    • Number of pack-years = [Frequency of smoking (number of cigarettes per day) x duration of cigarette smoking (years)] / 20
    • Note: Twenty cigarettes is considered equivalent to one pack. The effect of non-cigarette tobacco products on the survival of patients with p16-positive oropharyngeal cancers is undefined. While there are reportedly increased risks of head and neck cancer associated with sustained heavy cigar and pipe use (Wyss 2013), such sustained use of non-cigarette products is unusual and does not appear to convey added risk with synchronous cigarette smoking. Cigar and pipe tobacco consumption is therefore not included in calculating the lifetime pack-years. Marijuana consumption is likewise not considered in this calculation. There is no clear scientific evidence regarding the role of chewing tobacco-containing products in this disease, although this is possibly more concerning given the proximity of the oral cavity and oropharynx. In any case, investigators are discouraged from enrolling patients with a history of very sustained use (such as several years or more) of non-cigarette tobacco products alone
  • Zubrod performance status of 0-1 within 14 days prior to registration
  • Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL (within 14 days prior to registration)
  • Platelets >= 100,000/mcL (within 14 days prior to registration)
  • Hemoglobin >= 8.0 g/dL (within 14 days prior to registration) (Note: use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve hemoglobin [Hgb] >= 8.0 g/dL is acceptable)
  • Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (within 14 days prior to registration)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 3.0 x institutional ULN (within 14 days prior to registration)
  • Serum creatinine =< 1.5 x ULN OR creatinine clearance (CrCl) >= 50 mL/min (if using the Cockcroft-Gault formula) (within 14 days prior to registration)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial

  • For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated

    • Note: Known positive test for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) indicating acute or chronic infection would make the patient ineligible unless the viral load becomes undetectable on suppressive therapy. Patients who are immune to hepatitis B (anti-hepatitis B surface antibody positive) are eligible (e.g. patients immunized against hepatitis B)

  • Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment for the hepatitis, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

    • Note: Known positive test for hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) indicating acute or chronic infection would make the patient ineligible unless the viral load becomes undetectable on suppressive therapy

  • For women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to registration

    • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 55 must have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men who are sexually active with WOCBP must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception during and after treatment
  • The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry
  • Only English, Spanish, or French speaking patients are eligible to participate as these are the only languages for which the mandatory dysphagia-related patient reported instrument (MDADI) is available

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical stages T0; T4; T1-2, N0; or any N2 (AJCC, 8th ed)
  • Recurrent disease
  • Definitive clinical or radiologic evidence of metastatic disease or adenopathy below the clavicles
  • Cancers considered to be from an oral cavity site (oral tongue, floor mouth, alveolar ridge, buccal or lip), or the nasopharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx, even if p16-positive, or histologies of adenosquamous, verrucous, or spindle cell carcinomas
  • Carcinoma of the neck of unknown primary site origin (T0 is ineligible, even if p16-positive)
  • Radiographically matted nodes, defined as 3 abutting nodes with loss of the intervening fat plane
  • Supraclavicular nodes, defined as nodes centered below the level of the cricoid cartilage
  • Gross total excision of both primary and nodal disease; this includes tonsillectomy, local excision of primary site, and nodal excision that removes all clinically and radiographically evident disease. In other words, to participate in this protocol, the patient must have clinically or radiographically evident gross disease for which disease response can be assessed
  • Patients with simultaneous primary cancers or separate bilateral primary tumor sites are excluded with the exception of patients with bilateral tonsil cancers
  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 1095 days (3 years) (of note, the exclusion applies only for invasive cancers such that carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, or cervix are all permissible)
  • Prior systemic chemotherapy for the study cancer; note that prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is allowable
  • Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields
  • Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody.

  • Severe, active co-morbidity defined as follows:

    • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months
    • Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
    • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration
    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy within 30 days of registration
    • Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects
    • Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definition with immune compromise greater than that noted; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive. Protocol-specific requirements may also exclude immuno-compromised patients
    • Condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of registration. Inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal replacement doses < 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease
    • Patients with active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (i.e. disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs) should be excluded. These include but are not limited to patients with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis; systemic autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome should be excluded because of the risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease
    • Note: Patients are permitted to enroll if they have vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger (precipitating event)
  • Patients who are pregnant, nursing, or expecting to conceive or father children
  • Prior allergic reaction to cisplatin
