Study Summary

This phase I trial is looking to determine if hypofractionated radiation therapy can be given safely after surgery for intermediate-risk head and neck cancer.

Primary Outcome

All grades are based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v.5). H-PORT in this population will be deemed safe if 0-2 patients out of the first 12 evaluable patients experience DLTs. Should 3 or more patients experience DLTs at any time point during the DLT evaluation period, then accrual to the trial will be stopped, if applicable. Once 12 evaluable eligible patients have completed their DLT assessment, the rate of unacceptable DLTs and 95% confidence interval will be summar
