OBJECTIVE: To explore whether deintensification of adjuvant therapy reduces ototoxicity among patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.

SETTING: Single academic center.

METHODS: The ototoxicity rate among adult patients with HPV-related OPSCC enrolled in the Minimalist Trial (MINT), a prospective phase 2 trial of surgery followed by risk-adjusted deintensified adjuvant therapy (42 Gy radiation given alone or with a single 100 mg/m2 dose of cisplatin), was compared to that among a historical cohort treated with standard adjuvant therapy (60-66 Gy radiation with up to three 100 mg/m2 doses of cisplatin). Ototoxicity was defined as Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 ≥ Grade 2. Mixed model analysis was performed to investigate the association between deintensified adjuvant therapy and treatment-related hearing loss.

RESULTS: A total of 29 patients (58 ears) were analyzed in the MINT cohort, and 27 patients (54 ears) in the historical cohort. The ototoxicity rate was 5% (n = 3/58 ears) in the MINT cohort and 46% (n = 25/54 ears) in the historical cohort (difference, 41%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 27%-56%). Patients in the MINT cohort demonstrated a 95% decrease in risk of ototoxicity compared to those in the historical cohort (adjusted odds ratio: 0.05, 95% CI = 0.01-0.31). Differences in estimated marginal mean threshold shifts were statistically and clinically significant at frequencies ≥ 3 kHz.

CONCLUSION: The deintensified adjuvant therapy given in MINT led to less ototoxicity than standard adjuvant therapy among patients with HPV-related OPSCC.
