Oropharynx (OPX) Biomarker Trial
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to identify a biomarker (or biomarkers) that is present when disease is present (i.e., at diagnosis or recurrence) and not present when disease is absent (i.e., after treatment, in HPV negative patients or in normal controls).
-
Prospective Assessment of HPV Associated Anogenital Pathology in Female Patients and Female Partners of Patients With Confirmed HPV Associated Oropharyngeal Carcinoma (Pap-Op)
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of anogenital infection with high-risk HPV serotypes and HPV-associated anogenital lesions in female patients with newly diagnosed HPV(+)OPSCC and female partners of patients with HPV(+)OPSCC, and compare this with retrospective review of exams and paps obtained during routine well woman checks in Rochester MN.
-
Surgical drain fluid for detection of molecular residual disease (MRD) in patients with HPV(-) head and neck cancers
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if DNA cancer-associated-variants (CAV) in post-operative blood, tumor tissue and surgical drain fluid can correlate molecular residual disease (MRD) with clinical, radiographic, or pathologic progression at 12- and 24- months post-surgery in patients with HPV(-) head and neck cancer.

A Pilot Study Assessing Robotic Surgery in the Seated or Supine Position for Benign and Malignant Lesions of the Head and Neck Using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical Systems and Modified Transoral Instrumentation
Rochester, Minn.
This study is designed to investigate if transoral surgery with the patient in the seated position utilizing the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) will enable better visualization and expedited removal of benign and malignant tumors of the throat.
-
An Open-label Study Using ASP-1929 Photoimmunotherapy in Combination With Anti-PD1 Therapy in EGFR Expressing Advanced Solid Tumors
Rochester, Minn.
Open-label study using ASP-1929 photoimmunotherapy in combination with anti-PD1 therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck and squamous cell cancer or advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
-
Oropharynx (OPX) Salivary Biomarker Study: Microbiome, Virome, and Metabolomics
Rochester, Minn.
- Salivary tumor DNA (stDNA) and the HPV self-test for oncogenic HPV (self-test) will be detectable in patients with human papillomavirus associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV(+)OPSCC) and not in HPV(-)OPSCC, oral cavity cancer or normal controls.
- There will be a difference in the microbiome, virome, and metabolomics in normal control patients compared to patients with oropharyngeal cancer or oral cavity cancer.
- There will be a difference in patient reported risk factors between patients with malignancy and normal controls.
- There will be dynamic changes in the microbiome and metabolomics which correspond with patient reported outcomes in patients with oropharyngeal cancer or oral cavity cancer.
