    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    The IMP will be used to treat locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Patients with low skeletal muscle mass will be randomized between two schedules: 1) weekly 40 mg/m2 cisplatin, 2) three-weekly 100 mg/m2 cisplatin. Patients with normal skeletal muscle mass will receive local standard of care. Cisplatin treatment will be combined with 7 weeks of conventional radiotherapy, consisting of 70Gy in 35 fractions in all groups.
    Het IMP zal worden gebruikt bij de behandeling van lokaal gevorderd hoofd-hals plaveisecelcelcarcinoom (HHPCC). Patienten met een lage skeletspiermassa randomiseren wij in twee groepen: 1) wekelijks cisplatinum 40 mg/m2 versus 2) driewekelijks cisplatinum 100mg/m2. Patienten met een normale skeletspiermassa krijgen de lokale standaard therapie. Cisplatinum behandeling zal gecombineerd worden met bestraling, bestaande uit 70Gy in 35 fracties gedurende 7 weken.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    HNSCC patients with low skeletal muscle mass are susceptible for cisplatinum dose limiting toxicity. This IMP will be used to identify whether a different scheme can be beneficial to this subgroup.
    HHPCC patiënten met lage skeletspiermassa hebben een risico op cisplatinum dosis limiterende toxiciteit. Met dit IMP willen wij bekijken of een aangepast schema voordelig kan zijn voor deze subgroep.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Cancer [C04]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To investigate if the use of weekly low dose cisplatin increases compliance to the planned chemotherapy scheme in locally advanced HNSCC patients with low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) to a level of compliance to three-weekly high dose cisplatin of patients without low SMM. We hypothesize that in HNSCC patients with low SMM, receiving weekly low dose cisplatin concurrent radiotherapy have a higher compliance rate to planned chemotherapy scheme compared to patients receiving the three-weekly scheme, resulting in a higher cumulative dosage and possibly improved outcomes. The primary outcome parameter is compliance (non CDLT) rate to the proposed cisplatin scheme. Compliance to chemotherapy is defined as the absence of CDLT.
    We willen onderzoeken of een wekelijks lage dosis cisplatinum de compliantie aan chemotherapie kan verbeteren in patiënten met lokaal gevorderd HHPCC en een lage skeletspiermassa (SMM), tot een niveau van compliantie zoals bereikt wordt bij het driewekelijkse schema in patiënten met een normale SMM. De hypothese is dat patiënten geselecteerd op lage SSM een hogere compliantie hebben bij wekelijks cisplatinum vergeleken met driewekelijks, de behandeling langer vol kunnen houden, een hogere cumulatieve dosis cisplatinum krijgen en daardoor een betere uitkomst hebben. De primaire uitkomstmaat is compliantie aan de geplande behandeling. Compliantie wordt gedefinieerd als het niet hebben van een cisplatinum dosis limiterende toxiciteit (CDLT).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate:
    - whether weekly low dose cisplatin can increase the compliance to the planned chemotherapy scheme in HNSCC patients with low SMM to a level of compliance to three-weekly high dose cisplatin of patients without low SMM.
    - treatment cumulative cisplatin dose in patients with low SMM receiving weekly low dose or three-weekly high dose cisplatin.
    - acute and late adverse events/toxicity in patients with low SMM receiving weekly low dose or three-weekly high dose cisplatin.
    - time to recurrence in patients with low SMM receiving weekly low dose or three-weekly high dose cisplatin.
    - 2-years survival in patients with low SMM receiving weekly low dose or three-weekly high dose cisplatin.
    - quality of life in patients with low SMM receiving weekly low dose or three-weekly high dose cisplatin.
    - costs in care for patients with low SMM receiving weekly low dose or three-weekly high dose cisplatin.
    - patient’s preference of treatment
    Doelen zijn om te kijken of bij patienten met een lage SMM...
    - de compliantie gelijk kan worden aan die van patienten met normale SMM, als zij het wekelijkse schema krijen
    - de cumulatieve cisplatinum dosis verschilt wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen
    - het aantal acute en late adverse events/toxiciteiten verschilt wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen
    - tijd tot recidief van ziekte verschilt wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen
    - 2-jaars overleving verschilt wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen
    - kwaliteit van leven verschilt wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen
    - zorgkosten verschillen wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen
    - de voorkeur voor een behandeling verschilt wanneer zij een wekelijks of driewekelijks schema krijgen

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome parameter is compliance (non CDLT) rate to the proposed cisplatin scheme. Compliance to chemotherapy is defined as the absence of CDLT. CDLT is defined as any toxicity resulting in a cisplatin dose-reduction of ≥50%, a postponement of treatment of ≥4 days or a definite termination of cisplatin after the first or second cycle of therapy.
    De primaire uitkomstmaat is compliantie aan de geplande behandeling. Compliantie wordt gedefinieerd als het niet hebben van een cisplatinum dosis limiterende toxiciteit (CDLT). De definitie van CDLT is elke vorm van toxiciteit resulterend in een reductie van cisplatinum dosering gelijk aan of meer dan 50%, een uitstel van behandeling van vier of meer dagen of een definitieve stop van de behandeling na de eerste of tweede ronde chemotherapie.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Endpoints will be evaluated during chemotherapy and three, six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months after end of treatment. The end of treatment is defined as the day of the last radiation session. Follow-up time is calculated as time passed since the end of treatment. The first moment of follow-up is 3 months after end of treatment.
    Eindpunten worden ge-evalueerd tijdens chemotherapy en drie, zes, twaalf, achttien en vierentwintig maanden na einde van de behandeling. Het eind van de behandeling is gedefinieerd als de dag van de laatste bestraling. Follow-up tijd is berekend middels de tijd tussen eind van behandeling en het moment van meting. Het eerste moment van follow-up is drie maanden na einde van de behandeling.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary outcome parameters are adverse events/toxicity, cumulative cisplatin dose, time to recurrence, 2-year overall survival, costs, quality of life and patient’s preference. The main oncological outcome parameters are time to recurrence and survival. Clinically relevant treatment related toxicity parameters, including specific toxicity that results in significant (grade 3 or 4) toxicity, treatment de-escalation or termination, will be recorded by the treating medical oncologist. Toxicity will be scored according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) guidelines, v5.0. Quality of life and quality adjusted life years will be assessed using questionairs and the activity based costing method.
    Secundaire uitkomstmaten bestaan uit adverse events/toxiciteiten, gegradeerd volgens de Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) versie 5, cumulatieve cisplatinum dosis, tijd tot recidief van ziekte, overleving, kosten, kwaliteit van leven en de voorkeur van de patient voor de behandeling. Kwaliteit van leven welke wordt gemeten middels vragenlijsten. Kosten-effectiviteitsanalyse wordt gedaan door het afnemen van een Productivity Cost Questionaire. We zullen daarnaast een micro-kosten studie verrichten waarbij de 'activity based costing method' (ABC-methode) wordt toegepast. We zullen een beslisboom vormen waarbij kosten en effecten gezamelijk worden gewogen. De definitieve uitkomst zal worden uitgedrukt in kosten per kwaliteit gecorrigeerde levensjaren (QALY).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    This is equal to the primary endpoint.
    Endpoints will be evaluated during chemotherapy and three, six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months after end of treatment. The end of treatment is defined as the day of the last radiation session. Follow-up time is calculated as time passed since the end of treatment. The first moment of follow-up is 3 months after end of treatment. For each follow-up moment, it is preferred to send the questionnaires and collect data as soon as possible, but a delay of maximum 6 weeks is also allowed and will not affect study progress.
    Dit is gelijk aan de meetmomenten voor het primaire eindpunt. Eindpunten worden ge-evalueerd tijdens chemotherapy en drie, zes, twaalf, achttien en vierentwintig maanden na einde van de behandeling. Het eind van de behandeling is gedefinieerd als de dag van de laatste bestraling. Follow-up tijd is berekend middels de tijd tussen eind van behandeling en het moment van meting. Het eerste moment van follow-up is drie maanden na einde van de behandeling. Vragenlijsten worden verstuurd vóór behandeling en 12 en 24 maanden na behandeling. Het heeft de voorkeur dat de vragenlijsten zo dicht mogelijk bij dit moment worden verstuurd en ingevuld, maar een vertraging van 6 weken is ook toegestaan.
