Official title
TEMPUS PHOENIX HNSCC STUDY: A Longitudinal Multi-Omic Biomarker Profiling Study of Patients With Head & Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
Overview
The study is a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, multicenter study of participants with HNSCC who will have tissue and blood based molecular biomarker profiling during their standard of care treatment.
Primary outcome measures
- Explore DNA, RNA, immune and other multiomic biomarkers to better understand prognostic or predictive biomarkers and to inform future research for new relevant biomarkers. [Time frame: 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Explore changes in relevant DNA, RNA, immune and multiomic biomarkers in longitudinal blood samples, and diagnostic and progression biopsy samples, to understand real-world outcomes and resistance mechanisms. [Time frame: 5 years]
- Explore changes in ctDNA from longitudinal blood samples to assess ctDNA as a response biomarker. [Time frame: 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- ≥18 years of age
- Willing and able to provide informed consent
- Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed metastatic or unresectable, recurrent HNSCC unsuitable for local therapies
- Intended for first line anti-PD1 or PDL1 monotherapy or combination therapy
- Must submit tumor tissue sample representative of current disease per laboratory manual
Exclusion criteria
- Non-squamous histologies (eg, nasopharynx or salivary gland)
- Relapse or recurrence within 6 months of first line chemotherapy and / or chemoradiotherapy
- Tumors that are PD-L1 negative (CPS <1)
- Clinical evidence of an active second invasive malignancy within <2 years of enrollment with the exception of stable prostate cancer on watchful waiting, in situ cervical cancer, in situ breast carcinoma or localized non-melanoma skin cancers
- Unable to comply with study procedures (i.e., not willing or able to have additional blood samples collected)
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
