Input: We did not identify any completed RCTs that met our inclusion criteria. However, three eligible studies are in progress: ADEPT is a phase III trial comparing postoperative radiotherapy with or without cisplatin in HPV-positive T1-4a OPSCC patients. Included patients must have received minimally invasive surgery and demonstrated extra-capsular spread from disease in the neck. ECOG-E3311 is a phase II trial of treatment for HPV-positive locally advanced OPSCC (stages III-IVa + IVb without distant metastasis). Patients are stratified after minimally invasive surgery. Medium-risk patients are randomised to either standard or reduced-dose radiotherapy. PATHOS is a phase III trial of treatment for HPV-positive OPSCC (T1-3, N0-2b). Patients are stratified after minimally invasive surgery. Medium-risk patients are randomised to either standard or reduced-dose radiotherapy. High-risk patients are randomised to radiotherapy with or without concurrent cisplatin. This review highlights the current lack of high-quality randomised controlled trials studying treatment de-escalation after minimally invasive surgery in patients with HPV-positive OPSCC. However, trials that will meet the inclusion criteria for this review are in progress with results expected between 2021 and 2023.
Output:

In April 2018, we searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that had compared reduced-dose radiotherapy/chemotherapy treatment with standard-dose treatment. We were interested in the outcomes of overall survival and disease-free survival, as well as the effects on swallowing ability and voice. Our searches did not identify any completed RCTs, however three relevant studies are ongoing and the first results are expected between 2021 and 2023. Currently there is no high-quality evidence comparing these two treatments, however such trials are in progress.
