Recruiting studies
- NCT07423078RecruitingPhase 2
Larynx preservation trial for advanced throat cancer
This trial tests a new approach to treat throat cancer while trying to preserve your larynx (voice box). It combines chemotherapy drugs and an immunotherapy drug before surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this can help you avoid needing to have your larynx removed.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07465276RecruitingPhase 2
Two immunotherapies before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ficerafusp alfa and pembrolizumab) given before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07485296RecruitingPhase 2
Postbiotics with pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding postbiotics (beneficial bacteria byproducts) to the standard immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can improve your immune system's response against advanced or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07512921Recruiting
Gene Expression Study for HPV-Negative Head and Neck Cancer
This study compares gene patterns in tumor tissue and blood samples from patients with HPV-negative head and neck cancer. Understanding these patterns may help doctors better understand the disease and develop better treatments.
MilanAges 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+ - 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 - NCT07584499RecruitingPhase 1
New drug test for children with EGFR-positive solid tumors
This study tests a new cancer drug called Becotatug Vedotin in children ages 2–18 with certain types of solid tumors (cancers that form in organs or tissues) that have an EGFR protein. The drug is designed to find tumors with this protein and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 2–18 - 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.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07550972Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Combination drug treatment before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests two drugs (pertuzumab and lenvatinib) given together before surgery for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients who haven't received prior cancer treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06885424Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for A2 Bio gene therapy patients
This study follows up with people who previously received a gene therapy product from A2 Biotherapeutics in an earlier trial. The goal is to monitor their health over time and check for any long-term effects.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06809673Enrolling by invitation
Blood markers in head and neck cancer surgery
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict how head and neck cancer will respond to treatment. If you are planning surgery for squamous cell cancer of the throat, voice box, or mouth, this trial may offer more information about your outlook.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hnscc?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 132 recruiting hnscc 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 hnscc 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 hnscc 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.
