A regiszterben nem jelölt feltételek

• Main inclusion Criteria:
• Male/female participants who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent
• Histologically confirmed HNSCC of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx or cervical primary occult and histologically or radiologically confirmed oligometastatic disease. Histological characterization of one metastatic lesion is strongly recommended.
• Patients with synchronous or metachronous oligometastatic disease according to the ESTRO/EORTC consensus (1-5 metastatic lesions, with or without primary/recurrent primary tumour and/or regional disease).
• Amenable to first-line systemic treatment for R/M SCCHN.
• For patients with oropharyngeal cancer: HPV status using p16 IHC evaluated locally.
• PD-L1 CPS of at least 1 as evaluated locally.
• Staging not older than 12 weeks before enrolment.
• All the 1-5 metastases must be amenable to SABR.
• Eligible for treatment with pembrolizumab.
• Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
• ECOG performance status of 0 to 1.
• Participants must have recovered from all treatment-related toxicities to baseline or grade ≤1, such as from previous radiotherapy, systemic treatment or surgery, and not requiring corticosteroids for managing treatment-related side effects.
• Adequate Organ Function Laboratory Values.
• Before patient registration/enrolment, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.
  • Main exclusion Criteria:
• Nasopharynx, sino-nasal, and salivary gland cancers are excluded.
• In-field progression in < 6 months after curative intended locoregional irradiation of the head and neck.
• Lesions larger than 6 cm in the largest dimension as measured in the diagnostic CT or MRI scan for lesions outside the brain. Note: bone metastases over 6 cm may be included if in the opinion of the local radiation oncologist they can be treated safely and no inner organ is affected.
• Brain metastases only.
• Has received any previous radiotherapy to any of the 1-5 metastases that would be subject to SABR in the experimental arm unless the investigator agrees to treat only after discussion with the RTQA team.
• Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
• Previously treated brain metastases that are radiologically non-stable. Patients with previously treated brain metastases, i.e., without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging, clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention, can participate.
• Known contraindication to imaging tracer or any product of contrast media and MRI contraindications.
