Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive radiation therapy (70 Gy in 35 fractions) with either weekly cisplatin, 7 doses of 40 mg/m2, or cetuximab, loading dose of 400 mg/m2 followed by 7 weekly doses of 250 mg/m2. The primary outcome was symptom severity assessed by the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Head and Neck Symptom Severity Scale from baseline to 13 weeks postcompletion of radiation therapy using the area under the curve. Trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01855451. Results: Between June 17, 2013, and June 7, 2018, 189 patients were enrolled, with 92 in cisplatin arm and 90 in cetuximab included in the main analysis. There was no difference in the primary endpoint of symptom severity; difference in area under the curve cetuximab-cisplatin was 0.05 (95% confidence interval [CI], –0.19, 0.30), P = .66. The T-score (mean number of ≥grade 3 acute adverse events) was 4.35 (standard deviation 2.48) in the cisplatin arm and 3.82 (standard deviation 1.8) in the cetuximab arm, P = .108. The 3-year failure-free survival rates were 93% (95% CI, 86%-97%) in the cisplatin arm and 80% (95% CI, 70%-87%) in the cetuximab arm (hazard ratio = 3.0 [95% CI, 1.2-7.7]); P = .015. Conclusions: For patients with low-risk HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer, radiation therapy and cetuximab had inferior failure-free survival without improvement in symptom burden or toxicity compared with radiation therapy and weekly cisplatin. Radiation therapy and cisplatin remain the standard of care.]]> Wed 05 Apr 2023 13:48:31 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55237 Wed 01 May 2024 15:42:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38564 P < 0.0001). The majority indicated they would be ‘quite a bit’ or ‘very much’ interested in future live virtual meetings. Conclusion: The TROG 2020 ASM was conducted as a live virtual meeting. Participant satisfaction and future interest in a live virtual meeting was high, indicating this is a viable platform for other CCTG’s faced with the decision to deliver virtual content at times of global public health threats.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:56:23 AEDT ]]>
