About this trial
This is a single-centre, non-randomized, two-stage design, proof-of-concept study evaluating the radiolabelled PARP inhibitor \[18F\]-olaparib als potential tracer for imaging of tumour PARP expression by PET.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients >18y, with biopsy-proven HPV-negative HNSCC, or patients >40y with HPV-positive HNSCC and high-risk features (i.e. > 10 smoke packs/year AND ≥N2b)
Treatment with chemoradiotherapy using platinum-based chemotherapy is anticipated
Recent archival tumour tissue (<8 weeks prior to inclusion) should be available with suffi-cient residual material for determination of tumour PARP1 levels
Presence of a tumour lesion ≥10 mm in diameter
Disqualifiers
Recent treatment with PARP inhibitors or other investigational therapies <30 days.
Presence of significant co-morbidities that make participation in the study undesirable according to the treating physician.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
[18F]-olaparib PET scan
Diagnostic testThe IMP investigated is \[18F\]Olaparib, a radiolabelled PARP inhibitor suitable for PET imaging.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dosimetry assessment
Assess dosimetry, most optimal time point for imaging (Stage I), and safety of \[18F\]olaparib PET (Stage I + II)
Correlation between tumour uptake and expression
Determine the correlation between tumour \[18F\]-olaparib uptake and tumour PARP-1 expression levels on tumour biopsy (Stage I + II).
Secondary outcomes
Evaluation of changes in tumour uptake
Evaluate changes in tumour \[18F\]-olaparib uptake, as a read-out of DNA damage, during treatment with platinum-based chemoradio-therapy, and its correlation with changes in PARP protein expression (Stage II).
