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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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)

Time frame
3 months after chemoradiotherapy

Secondary outcomes

1

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)

Time frame
1 month after the end of chemoradiotherapy
2

Overall survival

The overall survival is defined as the time between the date of inclusion and the date of death from any cause.

Time frame
At the end of the main study (27 months after the end of treatment)
3

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.

Time frame
At the end of the main study (27 months after the end of treatment)
4

cDNA kinetic

cDNA detection at 1 and 3 months after the end of chemoradiotherapy

Time frame
1- and 3-month after the end of chemoradiotherapy
