A Phase II/III Trial of De-intensified Radiation Therapy for Patients with Early-Stage, P16 Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer (NRG-HN005) (PSCI# 20-011)

The purpose of the first part of this study is to compare the usual treatment of a standard-dose radiation given over 6 weeks with cisplatin chemotherapy to a reduced-dose radiation given over either 6 weeks with cisplatin or 5 weeks with the immunotherapy drug, nivolumab. A lower dose of radiation as compared to the usual radiation treatment dose could be as effective in lengthening the time without your cancer getting worse. Nivolumab with reduced-dose radiation may or may not be as effective in lengthening the time without your cancer getting worse. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is the same or worse than the usual approach.
