- NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05307939RecruitingPhase 2
Using tumor DNA tests to time treatment for HPV throat cancer
This study checks a blood test that looks for HPV tumor DNA to help doctors decide when to start routine treatment after surgery. It may help some people avoid starting treatment too early or too late based on how the test changes after the operation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05419089RecruitingPhase 2

New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05358548RecruitingPhase 2
Alternating treatment for advanced lung and head-neck cancers
This Phase 2 study tests an approach that alternates treatments for advanced lung cancer or recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds while managing side effects differently than standard back-to-back therapy.
Jersey City, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07195734RecruitingPhase 2
Adding chemo or immunotherapy before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has come back or not gone away after prior treatment.
Jersey City, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06959082RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an experimental drug with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called VS-101 combined with standard radiation and chemotherapy for people with advanced head and neck cancer that hasn't been surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding this drug helps the treatment work better while keeping side effects manageable.
Manhattan, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05172245RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug added to chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether adding a new targeted drug called ipatasertib to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for people with locally advanced head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib may help block a protein that helps cancer grow, possibly making the standard therapy more effective.
Newark, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04198766RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New OX40 immunotherapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (INBRX-106) alone or with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can help the immune system fight cancer.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07219212RecruitingPhase 1
New drug with chemo and radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests if adding an investigational drug called JNJ-90301900 to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy works better for people with certain advanced head and neck cancers (like mouth, throat, and voice box) that have not spread to other parts of the body.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–74 - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06525220RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs. standard for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab) compared to pembrolizumab alone for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back and cannot be cured locally. It may be an option if your cancer has a certain protein (PD-L1) and you haven't had prior cancer treatment for this stage.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06747585RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ALE.P02 for advanced squamous cell cancers with CLDN1
This trial tests a new drug called ALE.P02 for people with advanced squamous cell cancers (like lung, head and neck, esophagus, or skin cancer) that have a certain protein called CLDN1. The drug is given alone and aims to shrink or stop the cancer.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05144698RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAPA-201 cell therapy for certain advanced lung and head cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests RAPA-201, a personalized immune cell treatment made from your own T cells, for advanced solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has come back after standard treatment and after an anti–PD-1/PD-L1 antibody.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07503808RecruitingPhase 1
IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06242470RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07462377RecruitingPhase 1
Testing EPI-326 for EGFR-mutant lung and head & neck cancers
This trial tests a new drug, EPI-326, in people with advanced lung or head & neck cancers that have certain EGFR changes. The goal is to see if it is safe and may help shrink the cancer.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07602842RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IDP-001 for advanced solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called IDP-001 in people with advanced cancers that have spread or cannot be surgically removed. The study aims to find the right dose and see how well the drug works against various solid tumors.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06385080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of amivantamab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a drug called amivantamab, either alone or with other treatments, for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or control the cancer.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07441681RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing radiation plus targeted therapy vs standard chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two treatments for advanced head and neck cancer in patients who cannot take the drug cisplatin. One group gets radiation plus a targeted drug called cetuximab, the other gets radiation plus standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for people who are not candidates for cisplatin.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07090499RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PF-08046876 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new medicine, PF-08046876, for people with advanced cancers of the bladder, lung, head and neck, esophagus, or pancreas. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against these cancers.
