Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.

Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.

ctDNA surveillance for HPV-negative head and neck cancer
This trial uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after treatment for head and neck cancer. It aims to see if this test can detect any remaining cancer cells early, so you and your doctor can make informed decisions.

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+ - NCT07109726RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing TER-2013 for advanced tumors with AKT/PI3K/PTEN changes
This trial tests a new drug called TER-2013, alone or combined with another drug (fulvestrant), for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic changes in the AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

Study of STRO-004 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called STRO-004 for people with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or come back). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for those who have already tried other treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07465276RecruitingPhase 2
Two immunotherapies before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ficerafusp alfa and pembrolizumab) given before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

What taking part in a metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
