Interventions
Radiation: Radiation Treatment With or Without Chemotherapy
Other: Blood Sample Collection
Diagnostic Test: HPV Genotyping (HPV DNA Test)
Diagnostic Test: Testing Archival Tumor Tissue
Other: Physical Exam
Diagnostic Test: Positron Emission Tomography Scan (PET Scan)/ Computed Tomography Scan (CT Scan)
Registration Number
NCT04857528
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

This is a research study for individuals who have cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are being treated with radiation as part of standard care for their cancer. Doctors leading this study will use blood tests to find out if they can detect the HPV virus in the blood of study participants before, during, and after radiation treatment. They will also collect blood and archival tumor tissue (from a previous biopsy) to perform other tests in the future that could provide more information about HPV-associated cancers and how they respond to treatment. Participation in this study will last approximately 2 years.

Prospective (Participants Who Will Receive Radiation Treatment for HPV-Related Cancer During Study)Radiation Treatment With or Without ChemotherapyThis group is for participants who plan to receive radiation treatment (with or without chemotherapy) for their HPV-related anal or cervical cancer during the time this study will be conducted. Participants in this group will sign a consent form allowing researchers to collect their blood samples and analyze/compare them to the samples from the retrospective group of participants.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of Participants With Detectable Circulating HPV DNA in Blood/Tumor Samples25 months

The rate of participants who have detectable HPV DNA in their blood and tumor samples as assessed by analyzing blood/ tumor tissue samples using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of HPV DNA Levels in Predicting Cancer Recurrence at 24 Months24 months

The accuracy of post-treatment HPV DNA levels in predicting cancer recurrence at 24 months after treatment. This accuracy will be assessed using statistical calculations incorporating data from the participant's HPV DNA detection test results and clinical records.
