Official title

Phase I Clinical Trial of Hyperbaric Oxygen Combined With Radiation and Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This research is being done because we do not know the best treatment for advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. These cancers have been treated with a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy in varying combination. When the tumor is inoperable, radiation therapy is used with or without chemotherapy in the hope of curing the tumor. Recently, it has become recognized as generalized knowledge that cancer cells are hypoxic (low oxygen concentration). Because of the low oxygen concentrations, many cancer treatments have not been successful. The theory behind this study is to give oxygen to patients prior to chemotherapy and radiation in hopes of generating greater results in killing cancer cells. The purpose of this study has two main objectives. The primary objective is to determine patient tolerance to each arm of the trial. The second objective is to determine the feasibility of treatment delivery and acute toxicities associated with each regimen. It is our intention to undertake a randomized and controlled trial should this Phase I trial prove successful in terms of patient tolerance.
