HYPORT: A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Post-operative Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer (NCT04403620)

HYPORT: A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Post-operative Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

There is a strong radiobiological and economic rationale for hypofractionated radiation therapy in head and neck cancer. Phase 1 of the trial aims to assess the acute toxicity and tolerability of hypofractionated radiation therapy in the post-operative setting, and to determine the dose/fractionation for Phase 2. Phase 2 aims to establish non-inferiority of swallowing-related quality of life and to assess the toxicity and efficacy of hypofractionated radiation therapy compared to conventionally fractionated radiation therapy in the post-operative setting.
