Recruiting studies
- NCT06747585RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ALE.P02 for advanced squamous cell cancers with CLDN1

Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06662058Recruiting
Remote hearing test for head and neck cancer patients on cisplatin or radiation
This study tests a remote hearing test to monitor hearing changes in patients with head and neck cancer getting cisplatin chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to catch hearing loss early so treatment can be adjusted.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636734RecruitingPhase 2
Lovastatin plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) works better than pembrolizumab alone for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy before and aren't already on a statin.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06437522RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (BL-B01D1 plus a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with advanced head and neck cancer or other solid tumors that have come back or spread. It aims to see if the treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06006169RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new drugs for head and neck cancer and other solid tumors
This trial tests two new drugs, BL-B01D1 and SI-B003, alone or together, for people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back or spread. It may also include other solid tumors. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06211335RecruitingPhase 1
Losartan, pembrolizumab and radiation for advanced head & neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—a blood pressure drug (losartan), an immunotherapy (pembrolizumab), and targeted radiation—for people with head and neck cancer that has come back, spread to a few spots, or is not responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can shrink tumors and help patients who have few options left.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05910827RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a HER3 antibody with cetuximab and possibly docetaxel
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether an antibody that targets HER3 (with cetuximab, and possibly docetaxel) can help treat advanced squamous cell cancers that have already been treated or cannot use standard options. It mainly looks at safety first, and also whether the treatment can shrink tumors.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05726370RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus chemotherapy before curative surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable, recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer. It also studies how these treatments affect the tumor and immune response using required tissue and blood samples.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
Santa Rosa, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05376553Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Test cemiplimab plus chemo before treatment for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests cemiplimab (an immune system medicine) given with “induction” chemotherapy before the main treatment for locally advanced squamous cell head and neck cancer. It’s designed to see how well this treatment is tolerated and to learn about immune responses that may help future patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05208762RecruitingPhase 1
PD-L1 antibody drug study for advanced lung and head/neck cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a new experimental drug (PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment or can’t use it. It is designed to see how the drug works and how safe it is, with a focus on tumors that have PD-L1 seen on prior lab testing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07412314Recruiting
Proton Therapy for Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial uses proton therapy (a precise type of radiation) to treat people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer while limiting side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06383780RecruitingPhase 3
Tislelizumab plus chemo for nasopharyngeal cancer with bone spread
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab with chemotherapy for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has spread to the bones. It may be an option if you have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07088211RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for first-line head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (sacituzumab tirumotecan and toripalimab) as a first treatment for people with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.

AK104 and low-dose radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called AK104 (cadonilimab) combined with low-dose radiation for people with head and neck or nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back or spread and no longer responds to first treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03649048Recruiting
Weekly low-dose or high-dose cisplatin with radiation for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two cisplatin dosing schedules (weekly low-dose vs higher dose less often) given alongside radiation for certain head and neck cancers. It’s testing which schedule works well while keeping side effects manageable during planned, curative-intent radiation.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06725368RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus cetuximab after pembrolizumab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus a targeted therapy (cetuximab) for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has gotten worse after treatment with pembrolizumab (with or without initial chemotherapy). The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
