ST-BNCT2001: Dose Optimized BNCT for Head and Neck Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of applying BNCT with the dose optimization in patients with recurrent head and neck cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Dose optimized BNCT are conducted safety in these patients. Participants will receive dose optimized BNCT regulated as 12, 15, 18 Gy-Eq of the mucosal dose.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Adverse events (Absence and presence of serious adverse events) [Within 90days after the completion of BNCT]
Grade 3 or higher adverse events as evaluated in CTCAEv5.1 Number of participants with severe adverse events due to an excess of tissue tolerance dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective response rate: ORR [Within 90 days after the completion of BNCT]
ORR within 90 days after the completion of BNCT is evaluated using RECIST guidelines (version 1.1). ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects with CR and PR in the target lesions among all eligible subjects.
- Duration of Response [Within 2 years after the completion of BNCT]
The duration of the response is the time from the confirmed achievement of CR or PR (whichever is recorded first) to the date of initial objectively confirmed recurrence or exacerbation.
- Disease control rate (DCR) [Within 90 days after the completion of BNCT]
DCR is evaluated using RECIST guidelines (version 1.1). DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD in the target lesions among all eligible subjects.
- Overall survival (OS) [Within 2 years after the completion of BNCT or up to the end of this study]
OS is defined as the time from the day of the completion of BNCT to death due to all causes. The survey period will be up to the completion of the follow-up survey for all subjects.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [Within 2 years after the completion of BNCT or up to the end of this study]
PFS is defined as the time from the day of the completion of BNCT to the date of initial confirmed PD. The survey period will be up to the completion of the follow-up survey for all subjects.
- Late Adverse Events [From 90 days to 2 years after the completion of BNCT]
The late Adverse Events are defined as the medical occurrence of the study from the treatment periods to the follow-up periods.
- Quality of life (QOL) Score Based on EORTC QLQ C30 and H&N35. [Within 2 years after the completion of BNCT or up to the end of this study]
QOL score is assessed with EORTC QLQ C30 and H&N35 in the follow-up period. Results are scored as a specified manner by EORTC and changes in scores during the follow up period are evaluated
- Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) [Within 2 years after the completion of BNCT or up to the end of this study]
QOL and life year are multiplied to calculate the QALY. QOL score based on EQ-5D-5L in Japanese version.
