Study Summary

This trial aims to directly compare a reduced radiation dose to the standard of care in HPVOPC for non-inferiority, thus allowing for direct comparison of outcomes between the two groups. The study hypothesis is that LRC and PFS at 3 years for reduced dose CRT are non-inferior to standard dose CRT.

Primary Outcome

Progression free survival (PFS) at 5 years in patients with advanced HPV related oropharynx cancer, nasopharynx cancer or unknown primary treated with reduced or standard dose radiation.
