This trial tests two drugs, amivantamab with hyaluronidase or cetuximab, in people with weakened immune systems who have advanced skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). The goal is to see if these treatments can help shrink or control the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06239220RecruitingPhase 2
Combination immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three immunotherapy drugs (PD-L1 t-haNK, NAI IL-15sa, and cetuximab) for people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has spread or cannot be cured. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217171RecruitingPhase 1
Study of EVOLVE104 for advanced bladder and squamous cell cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug called EVOLVE104 for people with advanced bladder cancer or certain types of squamous cell cancers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05287945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915038Recruiting
Measuring tumor DNA in blood for HPV-positive throat cancer
This study looks at a blood test that finds DNA from HPV-related throat tumors. It may help doctors decide on surgery and check if the cancer is completely removed.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT04858334RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib after pancreatic cancer surgery for BRCA or PALB2 mutations
This trial studies whether olaparib (a targeted cancer medicine) can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery in people with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations. You would get olaparib or a placebo (inactive pill) and be closely followed to see if recurrence is reduced.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470217RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tirilizumab plus chemo for advanced oral cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (tirilizumab) and two chemotherapy drugs (albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin) for people with advanced but removable oral cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor before surgery and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05377905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Microneedle skin treatment plus doxorubicin for skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether delivering chemotherapy through tiny skin needles (microneedles) can shrink or control cutaneous squamous cell cancer (cSCC) that can be surgically treated. Because it’s Phase 1/2, the main goals are to check safety and find the best way to deliver the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05085496RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus atezolizumab for advanced skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies adding atezolizumab (an immune therapy) to radiation for people with hard-to-remove or borderline-resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The goal is to see whether this combination can better control the cancer and whether the treatment is safe.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04428671RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab before and after surgery for high-risk skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the drug cemiplimab given before and after surgery to reduce the chance that high-risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer comes back. You may be a candidate if your cancer is high-risk on pathology or imaging and is planned for surgical removal.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07645690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD70 CAR-T Cell Therapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CD70 CAR-T for advanced kidney cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The therapy uses cells from your own immune system that are genetically modified to recognize and attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07459751RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

This trial tests a new drug called HLX43, given alone or with HLX07, against the standard chemo docetaxel for people with a type of advanced lung cancer called squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It's for patients who have already tried and not responded to platinum chemo and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07545967RecruitingPhase 1
Re-radiation and Chidamide for Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests combining re-radiation (radiation therapy given a second time) with a drug called chidamide to treat head and neck cancer that has come back after previous radiation. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients whose cancer cannot be removed by surgery or who cannot have surgery.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06959108RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two treatments for head and neck cancer before chemoradiation
This trial tests two different drug combos—one using an EGFR-targeted therapy alone, the other adding an immunotherapy—before standard chemoradiation for locally advanced head and neck cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better without prior treatment.
VillejuifAges 18–75 - NCT04204837RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for advanced skin squamous cell cancer
This trial studies nivolumab, an immune therapy, for skin squamous cell cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see how well the treatment shrinks tumors and helps people live longer or longer without cancer growth.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06640725RecruitingPhase 2
TPEx chemo with maintenance immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (TPEx) followed by two immunotherapy drugs (avelumab and cetuximab) as a first treatment for head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. It is for people whose tumors show a protein called PD-L1 and who have not had chemotherapy for advanced disease before.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic skin squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 291 recruiting metastatic skin 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 metastatic skin 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 metastatic skin 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.
