Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment called PRV211 that uses tiny particles to deliver chemotherapy directly to the tumor site during surgery. The goal is to kill any remaining cancer cells that couldn't be removed

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with a specific stage of oral cancer that can be surgically removed are eligible for this trial. They must have an ECOG Performance Status ≤2, indicating they're relatively able to carry out daily activities. Participants must agree to use two forms of birth control and not have any serious medical conditions that would affect their participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing PRV211, a nano-engineered device delivering chemotherapy directly to the site of tumor removal in oral cancer surgery. The aim is to target any remaining cancer cells locally without affecting the rest of the body. Up to 40 patients will be monitored for safety and effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects aren't specified here, but generally, local chemotherapy may cause irritation or damage at the treatment site, pain, swelling, and could potentially lead to systemic issues like nausea or low blood counts if drugs enter circulation.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Open-Label, Single Arm Study of PRV211Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
PRV211 treatment application during standard of care tumor resection surgery. PRV211 system is comprised of two parts, a liquid permeation enhancer (PE) and cisplatin patch. The permeation is brushed onto the resected tumor bed and after 5 minutes the patch can be applied directly over the same area. Apply up to 2 layers of the PRV211 system to the tumor bed post-resection. The duration of the PRV211 treatment takes approximately 10-20 minutes and then the surgeon can continue as planned with the rest of the standard of care procedure. The proposed starting dose is 0.5 mg/cm2 of cisplatin on the tumor bed. This approach can be safe and effective in preventing locoregional recurrence after surgery and eliminating high-risk factors for local recurrence, such as dysplasia at the margins.
