Optima: A phase II dose and volume de-escalation trial for high- and low -risk HPV+ oropharynx cancers

Patient Selection:

  • HPV+ OPC low-risk (≤T3, ≤N2B, ≤10 PYH) OR high-risk (T4 or ≥N2C or > 10 PYH)
  • 3 cycles induction carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel

1) Low-risk ≥ 50% - low-dose RT 50Gy 2) Low-risk 30-50% - low-dose CRT 45Gy 3) High-risk poor response - CRT 75Gy

  • CRT = paclitaxel, 5-FU, hydroxyurea, + 1.5Gy BID RT
  • Primary site biopsy + neck dissection post de-escalated treatment (RT50, CRT45)
  • Primary endpoint - 2-year PFS
  • Secondary endpoints - pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and toxicity

Results:

  • 62 patients enrolled: 28 low-risk
  • Low-Risk: 71.4% RT50 21.4% CRT45
  • 2-year PFS and OS were both 100% for low-risk
  • Grade ≥3 mucositis 15.8% - RT50 46.4% - CRT45 60.0% - CRT75 (p = .033)
  • Grade ≥3 dermatitis 0% - RT50 21.4% - CRT45 30.0% - CRT75 (p = .056)
  • PEG-tube dependency post-treatment
  • 3 months 0% - RT50 14.8% - CRT45 70.0% - CRT75 (p < .001)
  • 6 months 0% - RT50 3.7% - CRT45 20.0% - CRT75 (p = .066)
  • pCR rate: 94.4% RT50 92.3% CRT45

A personalized approach using hypoxia resolution to guide curative-intent radiation dose-reduction to 30 Gy: a novel de-escalation paradigm for HPV-associated

  • ropharynx cancers (OPC)

Patient Selection:

  • HPV+ OPC low-risk: ≤T3, ≤N2B, ≤10 PYH
  • Primary tumors were excised and analyzed for DNA repair foci ex-vivo
  • pre-RT dynamic 18F-FMISO (fluoromisonidazole) PET to assess tumor hypoxia

(defined as > 1.2 tumor to muscle SUV ratio) in cervical lymph nodes

  • No hypoxia after initiation of CRT
  • 30Gy over 3 weeks - tumor bed + neck
  • 2 cycles of concurrent high-dose cisplatin or carboplatin/ 5-FU
  • If persistent hypoxia
  • Standard dose of 70Gy over 7 weeks with chemo
  • Neck dissection (ND) was done 4-months post CRT
  • Weekly DWI MRI, ctDNA, whole exome & RNA sequencing were performed

Results:

  • 19 patients – 3 T0, 11 T1, 5 T2; 5 N1, 3 N2a, 11 N2b
  • pre-RT 18F-FMISO scans
  • 6 No hypoxia – 30Gy
  • 13 + hypoxia
  • 12 intra-treatment 18F-FMISO scans
  • 3 were + hypoxia - 70Gy CRT
  • 15 patients de-escalated to 30Gy
  • complete pathologic response in 8 of 9 patients
  • To date, 18 of 19 patients (95%-6 pending ND) remain disease free

  • Straight Forward

– advanced lesions surgically contraindicated (ie T3 / 4) – advanced nodal disease (ie N2c / N3) – lesions with high chance of avoiding adjuvant therapy (ie T1 / T2N1)

  • In Between

– p16+/- smokers amenable to TORS – p16+ non-smokers requiring postoperative radiation (ie N2a / b)

  • Difficult

– p16+ Low-Risk T1/2 N2a/b non-smokers with high likelihood of needing postoperative CRT (ie suspicion of extracapsular (ENE) spread on scan / or > 4 nodes)

HPV OPSCC Pre-Op CT ENE Characteristics

  • Lymph node characteristics:
  • Necrosis (small versus > 75% “cystic”)
  • Lobular contours
  • Perinodal stranding (subtle vs gross)
  • Gross invasion of adjacent structures
  • Matted/conglomerate appearance
  • Size

Overall impression of rENE: yes/ no

  • any stranding  “yes”

HPV Pre-OP CT Results: False Positives

  • High sensitivity (100%) for detecting pENE in OP SCC than

previously reported

  • Low specificity, especially for macroscopic pENE (53%-64%)
  • FP rate is unacceptably high to base treatment decisions when

compared to previously published criteria for rENE in non-HPV SCC

Summary – Still looking for answ ers

  • Low-Risk Disease – Are we still treating to 70 Gy + cisplatin?
  • How much more can we de-escalate
  • Recommend patients for clinical trials
  • cure
  • quality of life
  • ECOG-ACRIN 1308
  • Phase 2 selecting for low risk
  • IC w/ cis / paclitaxel/ cetuximab followed by 54 Gy
  • significantly improved swallow outcomes
  • TORS may aid de-escalation
  • TORS + 36Gy 20 fractions BID 1-12 days + docetaxel
  • Intermediate / High Risk
  • Does ENE matter
  • patients amenable to TORS where path data is needed based on newer markers
  • Facilitate development of new drugs
