Negative Predictive Value of Circulating Tumor Tissue Modified Viral (TTMV)-HPV DNA for HPV-driven Oropharyngeal Cancer Surveillance.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is causally linked to oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Consensus guidelines recommend clinical exams and imaging in decreasing frequency as part of posttreatment surveillance for recurrence. Plasma tumor tissue modified viral (TTMV)-HPV DNA testing has emerged as a biomarker which can inform disease status during surveillance.

Experimental design

This retrospective observational cohort study involved 543 patients who completed curative-intent therapy for HPV-associated OPSCC between February 2020 and January 2022 at eight U.S. cancer care institutions. We determined the negative predictive value (NPV) of TTMV-HPV DNA for recurrence when matched to physician-reported clinical outcome data (median follow-up time: 27.9 months; range: 4.5-154).

Results

The cohort included mostly men with a median age of 61 who had locoregionally advanced disease. HPV status was determined by p16 positivity in 87% of patients, with a positive HPV PCR/ISH among 55%; while pretreatment TTMV-HPV DNA status was unknown for most (79%) patients. Patients had a mean of 2.6 tests and almost half had three or more TTMV-HPV DNA results during surveillance. The per-test and per-patient sensitivity of the assay was 92.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 87.5-97.5] and 87.3% (95% CI: 79.1-95.5), respectively. The NPV for the assay was 99.4% (95% CI: 98.9-99.8) and 98.4% (95% CI: 97.3-99.5), respectively.

Conclusions

TTMV-HPV DNA surveillance testing yields few false negative results and few missed recurrences. These data could inform decisions on when to pursue reimaging following first disease restaging and could inform future surveillance practice. Additional study of how pretreatment TTMV-HPV DNA status impacts sensitivity for recurrence is needed.
