RNA Therapy Injections for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy made of self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) that produces a protein called IL-12. It's injected directly into head and neck tumors to help your immune system fight the cancer. The study is for people whose cancer has not responded well to standard treatments or who are having surgery to remove their tumor.

This trial tests a combination of radiation and heat therapy (thermoradiotherapy) for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding heat can make the radiation more effective.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06828588RecruitingEarly Phase 1
A new imaging test for people on HER2 cancer therapy
This study tests a new imaging drug called [68Ga]Ga-ABY-025 to see how well it shows HER2-positive tumors in people who are about to start or have just started HER2-targeted cancer therapy. It may help doctors see if the treatment is working.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06869473RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab, chemo, and avelumab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (cetuximab) and immunotherapy (avelumab) plus chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if adding these medicines helps control the cancer longer.
Cagliari, CAGLIARIAges 18 years+ - NCT06905145Recruiting
Molecular testing for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial is for people with head and neck cancer that has not spread to distant parts of the body. It is a non-treatment study that will look at the molecular features of your tumor from a biopsy sample to help guide future treatment decisions.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06940180RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery for sinus cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) plus chemotherapy before surgery for sinus cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor so surgery can be more effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06971848Recruiting
Skin testing for biologic drug allergies
This trial checks if people can safely receive certain biologic drugs without allergic reactions, using skin tests to see how the body reacts. It may help find out if you are allergic to a biologic medicine you have taken before.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06999187RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DR-0202 for advanced solid tumors after multiple treatments
This trial tests a new drug, DR-0202, for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to at least two prior treatments. It may be an option if standard treatments are no longer working.
