Recruiting studies
- NCT05825066RecruitingPhase 2

Study of OCT-598 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called OCT-598, alone or with chemotherapy, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.

Testing AB821 for advanced solid tumors that resist immunotherapy
This trial tests a new study drug, AB821, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. The goal is to see if AB821 can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06752681RecruitingPhase 1
Testing day301 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called DAY301 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it can shrink tumors.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04999761RecruitingPhase 1
Study testing new drug combinations for advanced cancers
This study tests new drug combinations for people with various advanced cancers that have progressed after standard treatment, or in some cases, as a first treatment. It aims to see if these combinations are safe and effective. The study is divided into groups based on cancer type and treatment history, so not everyone will qualify for every group.
AichiAges 18 years+ - NCT06878612RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized tumor cell vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new vaccine made from your own tumor cells to see if it can help your immune system fight the cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT05940896RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted drug with radiation for non-surgical solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a HER2-targeted antibody drug (RC48-ADC) given with radiation in people with locally advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to find a safe way to use the treatment and see how well it works in cancers that have HER2 protein on their cells.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05980715RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing immunotherapy to radiation after successful treatment for head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether giving an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) after surgery is better than giving radiation therapy for people with advanced head and neck cancer who had a complete response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06021626RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CRD3874-SI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CRD3874-SI for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can shrink tumors.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06524167Recruiting
Radiation therapy after surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether adding radiation therapy after surgery can help people with thyroid cancer that is at high risk of coming back. It includes different types of thyroid cancer, like differentiated and medullary types.
ShanghaiAges 14–80 - NCT06558981RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation therapy after thyroid surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial is testing whether giving radiation therapy after thyroid surgery can help destroy any leftover cancer cells in people with high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer. It is for those who had surgery but some cancer was still left behind.
ShanghaiAges 14–80 - NCT05944237RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early trial for advanced cancers using HTL0039732
This is a Phase 1/2 study testing how well HTL0039732 works and is tolerated in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may help by offering a new treatment option and learning which cancer types and body markers respond best.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05260671RecruitingPhase 2
Penpulimab plus cetuximab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial studies penpulimab (an immune medicine) combined with cetuximab (an antibody drug) for recurrent or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. It aims to shrink tumors and improve survival in people whose tumor shows a specific immune marker (PD-L1).
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT05777824RecruitingPhase 2
Testing treatment after head and neck cancer response to chemo-immunotherapy
This Phase 2 study looks at what treatment is best after you first receive chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, then have surgery for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It tries to use how your tumor responds (shown in lab tissue after treatment) to guide the next steps, which may improve outcomes.
Beijin, Beijing 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+ - NCT06579248RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cooling device to protect taste during radiation
This trial tests a special mouthpiece that cools the tongue during radiation therapy for advanced larynx cancer. It may help prevent taste loss caused by treatment.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07106814RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metabolically armed TIL therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy (Meta10-TIL) made from your own immune cells that were trained to attack cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments, including cervical, liver, lung, breast, ovarian, head and neck, or colorectal cancer.

Testing a New Cancer Treatment Called IM-1617
This is an early-stage study testing a new drug (IM-1617) for advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug combines an antibody with a cancer-killing agent and may help people whose cancer has progressed despite prior therapy.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07397338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAS inhibitors with ivonescimab for solid tumors
This trial tests new drugs called RAS(ON) inhibitors combined with ivonescimab for people with solid tumors that have a RAS mutation. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.

- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 190 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?
