Study on giving immunotherapy less often for advanced cancer
This trial tests whether giving certain immunotherapy drugs less often than usual is safe and still works well for people with advanced stomach, liver, or lung cancer. It might mean fewer hospital visits while still controlling the cancer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06451497RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZM008 alone and with toripalimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug called ZM008, which targets a protein on some cancer cells, first alone and then combined with another drug, toripalimab, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06494995RecruitingPhase 2
AK104 and low-dose radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called AK104 (cadonilimab) combined with low-dose radiation for people with head and neck or nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back or spread and no longer responds to first treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06549946RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ixovex-1 injection alone or with another drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental injection called Ixovex-1, either alone or with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced solid tumors that can be injected. It is for those who have run out of standard options and have tumors that are not too deep inside the body.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06633224Recruiting
Fatigue and biology in cancer patients getting chemoradiation
This study looks at why some people feel very tired during cancer treatment. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples to study how the body responds to chemotherapy and radiation.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06645808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for various solid tumors
This study uses a special PET scan to see if a new imaging agent can help find and monitor certain solid tumors. It is for people with colon, rectal, sarcoma, breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, stomach, pancreas, bladder cancers, or glioblastoma who have had standard treatment before surgery.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06667427Recruiting
Nerve transfer for facial paralysis in cancer patients
This study tests whether nerve transfer surgery can improve facial movement and quality of life in cancer patients with facial paralysis. Participants either receive the nerve transfer or are part of a control group that had past facial surgery without nerve repair.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06691776Recruiting
Adaptive radiotherapy for five cancer types
This trial tests whether a newer type of daily CT scan (CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy) can safely and accurately deliver radiation to cancers of the prostate, cervix, bladder, lung, or head and neck. The goal is to better target the tumor and reduce side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for head and neck surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 338 recruiting head and neck surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a head and neck surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a head and neck surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
