简要总结

This study investigates if using a very low carbohydrate diet during combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy is safe and if it can be tolerated by patients.

详细描述

Standard treatment for head & neck cancer often includes chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy (chemoradiation).

This study is a phase I trial to determine the safety of dietary manipulation during chemoradiation for head & neck cancer. Specifically, pre-clinical data from mouse studies indicates a ketogenic diet increases tumor cell killing.

Participants will:

  • Utilize a specialized ketogenic diet designed by bionutritional services of the clinical research unit. This diet begins 2 days before chemoradiation and continues through at least 5 weeks of chemoradiation.
  • Have blood drawn for research purposes weekly to determine measurements of oxidative stress
  • Have urine collected sporadically through the study to determine measurements of oxidative stress
  • Keep a diary of concomitant medications, side effects, and blood sugars
  • Have follow-up to monitor for outcomes and overall survival

入选标准

  • Histologically or cytologically documented squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx. HPV status will not be assessed for eligibility; while HPV status may affect response to therapy, efficacy is not an outcome measure for this phase I study.
  • Candidate for primary chemoradiation as decided by an interdisciplinary team including otolaryngology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology.
  • Cancer should be staged via AJCC as stage II, III or IVa.
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • ECOG performance status 0-2 (Karnofsky > 50%, see Appendix A).
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • leukocytes ≥ 3,000/mm3
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • total bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dl
  • Hgb A1C < 8%
  • AST(SGOT) < 2 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • creatinine < 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal OR calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
  • Not pregnant. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

排除标准

  • Life expectancy of 3 or less months.
  • Prior neck and/or upper thoracic radiotherapy that would cause an overlap of treatment fields.
  • Prior therapy to the head and neck, with the intent to treat, the current diagnosis of head & neck cancer.
  • Known / established G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency.
  • Chronic system corticosteroids for any reason (inhaled corticosteroids are allowed). Pre-medication for chemotherapy is acceptable.
  • Other investigational agents/therapy with the intention to treat the disease under study (observational or imaging trials are acceptable).
  • Uncontrolled diabetes defined as a hemoglobin A1C level > 8% (therapeutic action is indicated at greater than 8%).
  • Diabetes is not exclusionary provided the patient is not maintained with either oral medications or insulin.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements as determined by study team members.
  • Pregnant or lactating women: The risks of radiation and chemotherapy to a fetus are well documented.
