About this study

This is a monocentric, non-randomized, prospective, in silico feasibility study conducted by Strasbourg Europe Cancerology Institute. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimisation of potential dental implant sites protection, without degrading tumor volume coverage, through designation of potential dental implant sites before volume delineation and dosimetry calculations in patients with oropharyngeal or oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma treated by radiotherapy.

Read the detailed description

35 patients will be included in this study and will benefit from a dental consultation for dental rehabilitation plan elaboration and radiological guide confection. Two dosimetric computer-tomography scans, with or without radiological guide, will be conducted. Virtual dental implants will be visualised by the dental surgeon on scanner images (with or without radiologic guide). After volume delineation and dosimetry calculations, the optimal treatment plan will be validated. Patients will be followed throughout radiotherapy and during 18 months following the end of radiotherapy for evaluation of toxicity, quality of life and dental implant survival rate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Identification of optimal scanner allowing to obtain the greater number of patients with every designated implant sites that are protected

    Condition of dental implant sites protection (i.e. with minimal implantation risk, Dmax < 40 Gy), without degrading the coverage of planned targeted volume (≥ 95% of volume receiving 95 % of prescribed dose)

    Measured: At baseline

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Acute toxicity evaluation

    according to CTCAE v5.0 criteria

    Measured: every weeks during radiotherapy

  2. Retarded toxicity evaluation

    according to CTCAE v5.0 criteria

    Measured: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months after the end of radiotherapy

  3. Quality of life assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire

    Score based on 30 items from EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline, every weeks during radiotherapy and at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months after the end of radiotherapy

  4. Quality of life for patient with Head and Neck Cancer assessed by the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 supplementary questionnaire module

    Score based on 35 items from EORTC QLQ-H\&N35 questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline, every weeks during radiotherapy and at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months after the end of radiotherapy

  5. Oral health-related impact on patients quality of life assessed by the OHIP-14 questionnaire

    Score based on 14 items from OHIP-14 questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline, every weeks during radiotherapy and at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months after the end of radiotherapy

  6. Implant survival rate

    Number of implant failure (Albrektsson modified criteria)

    Measured: at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months after the end of radiotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optimisation of dental implant sites protection from irradiation in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck and Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Institut de cancérologie Strasbourg Europe at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: organisationnal reason). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of optimal scanner allowing to obtain the greater number of patients with every designated implant sites that are protected (time frame: At baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jan 2026.
