About this trial
The goal of this ancillary clinical trial is to evaluated circulating DNA as a biomarker of residual disease after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carninoma.
The main question it aims to answer is :
\- Does circulating DNA (cDNA) be able to detect residual disease 3 months after the end of chemoradiotherapy ? Researchers will compare detection of cDNA at 3-months and objective response (clinical and radiological).
Participants will :
* be included in the main study (Neck-TAR) * have a blood sample 1 and 3-month after the end of treatment

Treatments tested in this trial
blood sampling
Biological/VaccineThe intervention consist in blood samples (18mL) collected 1 and 3-months after the end of chemoradiotherapy
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
cDNA detection and objective response 3 months after the end of chemoradiotherapy
The detection or non detection of cDNA after treatment will be compared with the objective response (complete response versus progression/stability/partial response)
Secondary outcomes
cDNA detection and objective response one month after the end of chemoradiotherapy
The detection or non detection of cDNA after treatment will be compared with the objective response (complete response versus progression/stability/partial response)
Overall survival
The overall survival is defined as the time between the date of inclusion and the date of death from any cause.
Progression-free survival
The progression-free survival is defined as the time between the date of inclusion and the date of the first progression of the disease (clinical or radiological) or death from any cause.
cDNA kinetic
cDNA detection at 1 and 3 months after the end of chemoradiotherapy
