This trial tests an experimental drug, RNDO-564, either by itself or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05099809Recruiting
Hyperthermia plus treatment for locally advanced cancers
This registry study looks at whether adding hyperthermia (raising body temperature) is safe and effective for people with certain locally advanced, non-spread cancers. It will follow outcomes to help doctors understand who may benefit and what side effects to expect.
Sevāgrām, MaharashtraAges 18 years+ - NCT07241039RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an oral drug for advanced squamous cell cancers
This study tests an oral drug called ABBV-711, alone or with another drug, for adults with advanced squamous cell cancers of the head, neck, or lung that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see how safe and effective the drug is.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04612075Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for head and neck squamous cancer
This study uses a combined PET/MR scan to better look at head and neck squamous cell cancer before or during treatment. It may help doctors see where the cancer is and how far it has spread, to support planning for curative radiation treatment.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 187 recruiting locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 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 locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 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 locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 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.
