Study of BL-B16D1 for advanced head and neck cancer and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug, BL-B16D1, for people with advanced head and neck cancer or other solid tumors that have not been helped by standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06492460RecruitingPhase 3
Two courses of chemo-radiation after surgery for high-risk head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving two rounds of cisplatin chemo along with radiation after surgery can help people with high-risk head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It is for patients who have already had surgery and whose cancer showed signs of being more aggressive.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT06534762RecruitingPhase 2
Miraberon for advanced solid tumors (first treatment)
This study tests a drug called Miraberon for people with advanced solid tumors that have not yet been treated with chemotherapy or other cancer drugs. The goal is to see if Miraberon can help shrink or control the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06540443RecruitingPhase 1
Enhanced MRI for staging head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new imaging agent (MPB-2043) that may help doctors see cancer spread to lymph nodes more clearly during an MRI scan. It is for people with head and neck cancer who are planning to have lymph node surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06557889RecruitingPhase 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 488 recruiting metastatic 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 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 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.
