Recruiting studies
- NCT07632339RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial tests two drugs—becotatug vedotin and pucotenlimab—given before surgery to treat head and neck cancer that has come back in the same area. The goal is to shrink the tumor and help your body's immune system fight the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06007092RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HPV vaccine trial for oropharyngeal cancer patients
This trial tests a therapeutic vaccine for people with HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer who have finished curative treatment and are free of disease. The vaccine aims to help the immune system prevent the cancer from coming back.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT07341737RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
SL-28 for advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to treatment
This trial tests a new drug, SL-28, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help shrink or slow the growth of your cancer.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 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 - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04930432RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MCLA-129 for advanced EGFR- and MET-positive lung and other cancers
This early-phase trial tests MCLA-129, an antibody that targets EGFR and MET, in people with advanced cancers that have specific lab “biomarker” results. It’s for patients whose cancer has grown after standard treatments or can’t take standard treatment, with the goal of shrinking tumors and improving symptoms.
BaodingAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT04470024RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a vaccine plus immunotherapy for recurrent head and neck cancer
This early-phase (Phase 1b) study tests a vaccine designed to train the immune system to fight head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, plus standard immunotherapy. It may help some people by boosting the body’s anti-cancer immune response, but it mainly focuses on safety and finding the best approach.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06190275Recruiting
Immune cell therapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (GT201) combined with a PD-1 inhibitor for advanced head and neck cancer. It aims to see if your own immune cells, collected from your tumor, can be boosted to fight the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 108 recruiting locally recurrent 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 recurrent 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 recurrent 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.
