CompARE is a multicentre, phase III open-label randomised controlled trial using an adaptive, Multi-Arm, Multi-Stage (MAMS) design.
The CompARE Trial examines alternative regimens for escalating treatment of intermediate and high-risk oropharyngeal cancer in an adult patient population. The aim is to assess whether escalated radiotherapy, adding surgery or immunotherapy will improve overall survival and quality of life in these patients.

Patient Overall survival (OS)
defined as the interval in whole days between date of randomisation and date of death from any cause
Time frame: from randomisation until date of death from any cause (follow-up until 8 years post-treatment)
Patient Event Free Survival (EFS)
defined as the interval in whole days between date of randomisation until date of progression/persistence/recurrence/death
Time frame: From randomisation until date of progression/persistence/recurrence/death (follow-up until 8 years post-treatment)
Number of Acute (<3 months post-treatment) toxicity events experienced
Total number of acute (\<3 months post-treatment) severe (grade 3-5) toxicity events experienced. Adverse events will be collected post-treatment and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).
Time frame: From date of randomisation until 2 year follow-up
Number of late (up to 2 years post-treatment) toxicity events experienced using CTCAE
Severe (grade 3-5) adverse events will be collected up to 2 years post randomisation, these events will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 and version 3.0 for scoring mucositis.
Time frame: From date of randomisation until 2 year follow-up
Number of late (up to 2 years post-treatment) toxicity events experienced using RTOG
Late and severe toxicity events at 2 years post randomisation,will be collected and graded using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria
Time frame: From date of randomisation until 2 year follow-up
