In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This trial tests how well personalized ultra fractionated stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy (PULSAR) works together with HyperArcยฉ radiation treatment planning technology for palliative (holistic pain and symptom control) tumor control in patients with primary or recurrent, localized or metastatic head and neck cancer (HNC) who are ineligible for or decline standard of care treatment. Researchers want to evaluate if using HyperArc and PULSAR together will deliver higher, possibly more effective doses, resulting in better tumor control with the same or fewer side effects than smaller routine doses. PULSAR is a radiation therapy regimen that uses a limited number of fairly large dose pulses while adjusting to specific anatomic and/or biological changes which may occur during the course of the treatment. HyperArc radiation treatment planning technology is a tool that allows for target dose

๐Ÿ“‹ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * \>= 18 years old * Diagnosis of primary or recurrent, localized or metastatic (American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th Edition stages I-IV) head and neck cancer. In primary diagnosis cases, pathologic confirmation is required. In recurrent and/or metastatic diagnosis cases, pathologic confirmation is not required if not beneficial to the patient as standard of care, and diagnosis can be assumed based on clinical and/or radiographic evidence * Ineligible for or declines standard of care definitive treatment(s), which will be documented in the patient's trial screening progress note in their electronic medical record by the treating physician * Measurable disease within the head and/or neck clinically and/or on imaging studies (CT, PET, MRI) within 30 days from date of enrollment * Patient maximum tumor(s) or tumor bed diameter must be less than 10cm * In a woman of childbearing potential, a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 1 week of treatment start must be documented. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; or abstinence) for duration of study participation and for up to 4 weeks following the study treatment * Patients with a tracheostomy and/or a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube are eligible for inclusion Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breast-feeding * More than 1 prior radiation treatment course directed to the treatment area over the patient's lifetime. In patients who have received 1 prior radiation treatment course directed to the treatment area, that prior radiation treatment course must have concluded at least 6 months prior to trial enrollment * Any comorbidity or condition which would limit full compliance with the protocol
