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+ - NCT06940518RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ivonescimab, for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has grown after at least one prior treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06912074RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing shorter vs. longer radiation after chemo-immunotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation is as effective as the standard longer course after initial chemotherapy plus immunotherapy in people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06902389RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Multi-target immune cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (multi-target Hi-TCR-T cells) for people with advanced liver cancer that hasn't responded to earlier treatments. The therapy targets several markers on your cancer cells to try to attack the tumor more effectively.
Shanghai, Yangpu DistrictAges 18–75 - NCT05272696RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) together with induction chemotherapy before the main cancer treatment for stage III/IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to improve how well the tumor responds and how long people can stay controlled.

- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 212 recruiting locally advanced oral 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 oral 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 oral 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.
