Brief summary

Eligible participants with locoregional inoperable recurrence or second primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck will be treated with reirradiation combined with anti-PD-1 mAb MK-3475 (generic name: pembrolizumab, trade name Keytruda®).

Detailed description

Each participant will undergo screening and then be treated with reirradiation with 1.2 Gy BID, 5 days a week (weeks 1-5). MK-3475 (generic name: pembrolizumab, trade name Keytruda®) will be given at 200mg intravenous every 3 weeks starting day one of reirradiation and will be continued in all participants until 3 months post completion of reirradiation, at which time a PET/CT will be done to evaluate response. Participants with progressive disease (PD) will be taken off MK-3475 and followed for survival. Participants that have a complete response (CR) will be followed clinically and radiographically, and if disease recurs may be eligible to be retreated with MK-3475 for up to one year. Participants with partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) will continue treatment with MK-3475 for up to two years unless one of the following occurs: * documented disease progression * unacceptable adverse event(s) * intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment * investigator decision to withdraw the subject * withdrawal of consent * pregnancy * noncompliance * administrative reasons (i.e. trial is closed prematurely). Participants who have not progressed at completion of 24 months of therapy will be observed, but may be eligible for 1 year of retreatment with MK-3475 if they develop recurrence/progression and qualify for retreatment as detailed in the protocol,and if the trial is still ongoing.

Interventions

RADIATIONReirradiation

Reirradiation 1.2 GY BID 5 days a week for 5 weeks.

DRUGMK-3475

MK-3475 will be given at 200mg intravenous every 3 weeks starting day one of reirradiation and will be continued once every 3 weeks until 3 months post completion of reirradiation. Further continuation of MK-3475 will be determined by response evaluation at 3 months post completion of reirradiation

Inclusion criteria

Patients with biopsy proven locoregional recurrence or second primary SCCHN which is unresectable or the patient is unwilling to undergo resection. Determination of unresectability will be based on multidisciplinary review of each case. Inclusion Criteria: 1. Have received only prior radiation treatment course.

Primary

Progression Free Survival

Number of months from the date of initiation of treatment to the date of progression of disease or death (whichever occurs first). Progressive disease, per RECIST 1.1, is defined as: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

Time frame: Up to 36 months (after starting reirradiation and MK-3475)

Quality of Life Using EORTC QLQ-C30 - Cycle 9

Patient reported outcomes will be measured using EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires. This tool contains 30 items. It measures 5 functional dimensions (physical, role, cognitive, social, emotional), 6 single items (appetite loss, constipation, dyspnea, financial impact, sleep disturbance, diarrhea), 3 symptom items (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting) and a global health and quality of life scale. Scales range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning whereas a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.

Time frame: At Cycle 9 (Week 26)

Quality of Life Using EORTC QLQ-H&N 35 - 12 Months

Patient reported outcomes will be measured using the EORTC QLQ-H&N35, a 35-item questionnaire that assesses symptoms encountered specifically by patients with head and neck cancer. This measure generates 7 multiple-item scales (Pain, Swallowing, Senses, Speech, Social eating, Social contact, and Sexuality), in addition to 11 single items (eg, Opening mouth, Sticky saliva, Dry mouth, etc). Scales range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning whereas a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.

Time to in Field Disease Progression

Number of months from initiation of treatment to progression of disease within the radiation field.Progressive disease, per RECIST 1.1, is defined as: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

Time frame: Up to 36 months (after initiation of treatment with reirradiation and MK-3475)

Population: Zero patients with results.
