Primary results for the phase III trial of Toxicity Reduction using Proton Beam Therapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer (TORPEdO; CRUK/18/010)
Purpose/Objective(s)
To investigate differences in clinical outcomes between intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for patients with locally advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
Materials/Methods
In this phase 3, randomised, controlled, multicentre trial participants with OPSCC requiring definitive bilateral chemoradiation were assigned in a 2:1 ratio to IMPT or IMRT (70 Gy (RBE) in 33 once daily fractions over 6.5 weeks), with two cycles of concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy (every 3 weeks, 100mg/m2). Co-primary endpoints at 12 months after radiation were: (i) clinician-reported gastrostomy dependence or CTCAE grade 3 weight loss (20% decrease from baseline) and (ii) patient-reported University of Washington quality of life (UW-QOL) physical composite score of saliva, taste, chewing, swallowing, speech and appearance; each tested at the 2.5% significance level. Analysis accounted for tumour (T) and nodal (N) stage, smoking status, chemotherapy received, baseline body mass index and baseline UW-QOL physical composite score. Secondary endpoints included MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), freedom from loco-regional recurrence and overall survival.
Results
205 participants with locally advanced OPSCC (48% T3/4, 21% N2(c), 31% ≥10 pack year history) from 20 UK centres were allocated to IMPT (n=136) or IMRT (n=69) between March 2020 and June 2023. Treatment was delivered over a median of 44 days (IQR: 44, 44) for both IMPT and IMRT. A second cycle of chemotherapy was not given for 5 (3.8%) and 3 (4.5%) patients receiving IMPT and IMRT, respectively. 178/205 (119 IMPT; 59 IMRT) were evaluable for the clinical co-primary endpoint, with data recorded for gastrostomy dependence or weight loss. Both groups had low rates of gastrostomy dependence: IMPT 2/119 (1.7%) vs IMRT 1/59 (1.7%). A higher rate of grade 3 weight loss was seen for IMPT: 20/110 (18.2%) vs IMRT 3/53 (5.7%); taken together, the odds ratio for IMPT was 2.8 (97.5% CI: 0.8, 10.4, p=0.080). 155/205 participants (100 IMPT; 55 IMRT) were evaluable for the patient reported co-primary endpoint. There was no evidence of a difference in mean UW-QOL physical composite score for IMPT vs IMRT (78.3 vs 77.1, difference=1.3 (to 1 decimal place), 97.5% CI: -3.7, 6.2, p=0.563). MDADI mean composite scores at 12 months for IMPT vs IMRT were 79.4 vs 79.5. At a median follow-up of 27 months, 2-year freedom from loco-regional recurrence for IMPT and IMRT was 94.8% (99% CI: 85.8, 98.2) and 96.8% (81.6, 99.5) and for overall survival 94.4% (85.9, 97.9) and 94.9% (79.1, 98.8), respectively.
Conclusion
For locally advanced OPSCC, IMPT does not reduce long-term gastrostomy dependence or severe weight loss and does not improve long-term patient-reported physical quality of life or swallow function compared with IMRT. There is no requirement for IMPT as an alternative to high quality IMRT.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (IJROBP), known in the field as the Red Journal, publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to radiation oncology, radiation biology, medical physics, and both education and health policy as it relates to the field.
This journal has a particular interest in original contributions of the following types: prospective clinical trials, outcomes research, and large database interrogation. In addition, it seeks reports of high-impact innovations in single or combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization, normal tissue protection (including both precision avoidance and pharmacologic means), brachytherapy, particle irradiation, and cancer imaging. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are of interest, as are basic science studies investigating tumor physiology and the molecular biology underlying cancer and normal tissue radiation response.
