INRT-AIR: A Prospective Phase II Study of Involved Nodal Radiation Therapy

We recently completed and reported a successful study (INFIELD) using reduced elective dose (40 Gy) and volume (involved echelons + 1) for oropharynx and larynx cancer. In INRT-AIR (Involved Nodal Radiotherapy using AI-based Radiomics), we are eliminating the elective neck treatment altogether, using radiologic and radiomic-based criteria to focus treatment on the nodes themselves. Eligible patients include previously untreated patients with stage I-IVB oropharynx, larynx and hypopharynx cancer, excluding T1-2 glottic carcinoma. Patients requiring chemotherapy may receive cisplatin, cetuximab, or carboplatin-paclitexel.
