Why Oral and Head and Neck Cancer? PhD years surgery and cancer anatomy intricate and personal
Slide 12-

OSCC Aggressive surgical resection cornerstone of treatment Quality of Life Disfiguring
Slide 13-

Surgery Can Be Disfiguring
Slide 14-

OSCC Despite advances in surgical techniques and chemoradiation: Past 30 years, 5 year survival rate with advanced SCC poor (20-30%) 50% of patients fail primary management Recur at primary site or lymphatics Presence of metastatic SCCA in LNs: correlates with 50% decrease in survival
Slide 15-

OSCC Standard of care: Surgical Salvage Resectability Proximity to vital structures (ICA, skull base)
Slide 16-

Recurrent Oral and Head & Neck SCCA Palliation: Radiation Therapy: Many patients receive RT as definitive or adjuvant therapy Retreatment a challenge Chemotherapy: Systemic Toxicity Efficacy Poor quality of life New advances needed for effective treatment

Slide 18-

The Polymer Platform The Clinical Problem: patients with advanced or recurrent OSCC: tumor is fixed to the underlying vital structures surgery becomes cytoreductive rather than ablative and curative. Polymer Platform: most oral and head and neck cancers and their cervical metastatic nodes are clinically accessible local treatment with a polymer matrix will have significant clinical applications. treat recurrent tumors refractory to multimodality therapy, or as a concurrent treatment with radiotherapy to augment its response.
Slide 19-

The Polymer Platform Polymer technology for Drug Delivery evolved since 1990: Tx: neoplasms, brain disorders, infections Harness the power of the polymer system further Beyond its capacity as a drug delivery system
Slide 20-

Goals The polymer system as a modular platform Facile application Serve as a mechanical barrier to early metastasis and angiogenesis Incorporate a radiosensitizer Incorporate a radioopaque tracer (tantalum) Evaluate recurrence by volume averaging on CT scan Function as a platform to deliver immunomodulators

Cisplatin CCL-21 Impermeable Backing Film Non-porous, radiopaque, > 4-6 wks degradation Polymer Platform Design Initial Release Micro-porous gel, <2 wks degradation Intermediate Release Macro-porous matrix, 4-6 wk degradation Degradation of the Impermeable Backing Film Cisplatin
Slide 22-

The Polymer Platform as a Mechanical Barrier Prevent initial metastasis while cells are fragile Prevent ingrowth of vasculature (angiogenesis)

The Polymer Platform in Monitoring Tumor Recurrence Tantalum Volume averaging
Slide 24-

The Polymer Platform as a Radiosensitizer Delivery of a lethal dose of RT to a tumor while sparing nearby tissues Chemotherapeutic agents as radiosensitizers (Cisplatin) Enhanced tumor cell killing without increased normal tissue toxicity Maximizing drug concentration in tumor microenvironment and minimizing systemic drug distribution
Slide 25-

The Polymer Platform as a Radiosensitizer Advantages of polymer over Brachytherapy Eliminates radioprotection issues for patient and their family Psychosocial: daily activities not limited
Slide 26-

The Polymer Platform in Immunomodulator Delivery Increase the efficiency of tumor cell killing by the host’s immune system Combinations of immunomodulators and drugs identify ideal synergistic combinations dissect the mechanisms of interrelated pathways
Slide 27-

Immunomodulators HNSCC patients: Documented local immunosuppression: T cells and NK cells Gene therapy: largely remains limited Major limitation for clinical use of cytokines: Lack of an effective protocol for local and sustained release.
Slide 28-

CCL21 CCL21 (secondary lymphoid chemokine, SLC): recruit DC, T, NK and NKT cells distinctly advantageous because of its capacity to elicit a type I cytokine response in vivo Our group demonstrated previously that CCL21 administered intratumorally elicits potent antitumor responses in murine cancer models substantiated by other groups in lung and colon cancer models In addition to its immunotherapeutic potential, CCL21: potent angiostatic effects additional support for its use in cancer therapy.
Slide 29-

Import of the polymer system as a modular system Modular platform can serve to limit the recurrence of OSCC by attacking the cancer cells in several ways. a chemotherapeutic agent: effectively kill tumor cells in the proximity of the polymer application platform to deliver immunomodulators Elegant approach to future dosing modifications and device improvements Incorporate changes into one layer without altering the chemical-physical properties of the other layer Robust design Enable dissection of underlying mechanisms of immune activation and expansion, design additional strategies to block the inactivation and death of the cytotoxic effectors
