Comparing Two Surveillance Approaches for People Who Have Received Treatment for HPV-associated Head and Neck Cancer and Show No Signs of Disease

Randomized Clinical Trial of Tele-Surveillance and Remote Symptom Monitoring Compared to Standard Surveillance for HPV-Associated Oropharynx Cancer With No Evidence of Disease on Post-Treatment Imaging

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to compare standard surveillance with telemedicine surveillance (tele-surveillance) and find out which surveillance approach is best for people with HPV-associated head and neck cancer who have no evidence of disease after treatment. The researches will look at how the two approaches affect participants' quality of life, health outcomes, and expenses (for example, costs of routine visits and procedures). They will also determine doctors' and patients' satisfaction with tele-surveillance.

What you commit to

  • Study type: Interventional
  • Participants enrolled: 40

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Completion of radiation and chemotherapy more than 9 months ago

Other illness

  • Patients on clinical trials related to head and neck cancer that have protocol defined follow up activities
  • Incomplete response or recurrent disease on post-treatment PET/CT

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥ 18
  • ECOG 0-3
  • Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) diagnosis of HPV associated squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (tonsil, base of tongue, or oropharyngeal walls)
  • No evidence of disease on post-treatment PET/CT within 9 months of completing radiation therapy. No evidence of disease is a consensus determination by the patient's radiation, medical, and surgical oncologist. If the first PET/CT is equivocal, then a second PET/CT can be obtained within 9 months of completing radiation therapy.
  • Post-treatment diagnostic imaging with either CT or MRI (recommended but not required)
  • Able to speak and read English fluently
  • Able to provide informed consent

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
