MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07514754Recruiting
Immunonutrition support during cancer treatment
This study tests whether special nutritional support (called immunonutrition) helps patients with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it improves how well treatment works and how you feel during and after cancer care.
Candiolo, Torino (TO)Ages 18 years+ - NCT07517198RecruitingPhase 1
EXS74539 Study for Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new cancer drug called EXS74539 to find the right dose and see how well it works in people with various advanced solid tumors. The drug may help patients whose cancers have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07524114Recruiting
Tracking cancer recurrence risk after treatment
This study uses advanced blood tests to detect tiny amounts of cancer DNA after you've completed cancer treatment. The goal is to catch any signs of cancer coming back as early as possible, which may help doctors intervene sooner.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07546383Recruiting
New Immunotherapy Combination for Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (called iparomlimab and tuvonralimab), with or without chemotherapy, for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has returned or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help people with this cancer live longer with fewer side effects.
Haikou, HainanAges 18–75 - NCT07573956RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fast versus standard radiation after head and neck cancer surgery
This trial compares two different radiation schedules after surgery for head and neck cancer. One schedule delivers radiation faster over fewer weeks, while the other uses the standard approach. The study tests whether the faster schedule works just as well while potentially reducing side effects.
Jhajjar, HaryanaAges 18–80 - NCT07580300RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs. Standard Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer: proton therapy (a newer, more targeted approach) versus standard photon therapy (the current common treatment). The goal is to see if protons reduce side effects while treating the cancer just as well.
BergenAges 40–90 - NCT07589205RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IBI3028 for Advanced Solid Tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called IBI3028 in people with advanced cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. The study aims to find the right dose and understand how the drug works in your body.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07613723RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZI-MA4-1 immunotherapy for advanced solid cancers
This early-stage trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called ZI-MA4-1 in patients with advanced cancers (ovarian, lung, synovial sarcoma, or head and neck) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The therapy is designed to help your immune system recognize and fight cancer cells that have a specific protein called MAGE-A4.
LondonAges 18–75 - NCT07622914Recruiting
Dietary fiber and muscle health in head and neck cancer
This study tests whether eating more fiber can help prevent muscle loss in people newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer. Researchers will track your nutrition and muscle strength over time to see if dietary fiber makes a difference.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07632339RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial tests two drugs—becotatug vedotin and pucotenlimab—given before surgery to treat head and neck cancer that has come back in the same area. The goal is to shrink the tumor and help your body's immune system fight the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07662681RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Camrelizumab plus famitinib for rare head and neck cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—camrelizumab (an immunotherapy) and famitinib (a targeted therapy)—for people with rare head and neck tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. It may be an option if you have not had a prior PD-1 inhibitor and have had at most one prior systemic treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07662746RecruitingPhase 2
Paclitaxel micelles for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new form of chemotherapy called paclitaxel polymeric micelles for people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It is for patients who have already tried one line of treatment and may benefit from a different option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07618624Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Drug combination before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial tests three drugs (finotonlimab, cetuximab, and docetaxel) given before surgery to remove recurrent head and neck cancer in patients whose cancer stopped responding to previous immunotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve surgical outcomes.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04104945Recruiting
Trial to reduce radiation fields in p16+ oropharyngeal cancer
This study tests whether shrinking the “planned radiation area” (elective treatment volumes) can still treat p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer effectively. It may help reduce unnecessary radiation to nearby healthy tissues while keeping the cancer treatment curative.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04166006RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine made from your tumor cells after surgery for rare cancers
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own tumor material, aiming to lower the chance cancer returns after surgery. It is for people whose rare cancers have been removed completely and who have no standard treatment available after surgery.
