Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07510321Recruiting
A study of FL-261 imaging for cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new imaging agent called FL-261 to help doctors see and stage cancers more clearly. If you have a known or suspected cancer like lung, colon, or head and neck cancer, this study may improve how your cancer is evaluated.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05207098Recruiting
Brain testing and questionnaires during head and neck radiation
This study checks how people’s thinking and brain functioning change while they are getting radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It uses simple computer tests and questionnaires to better understand who may be at risk for trouble thinking during treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–89 - NCT04178174RecruitingPhase 3
Boost radiation for HPV throat cancer with shorter treatment
This trial studies whether adding a precise “extra boost” to radiation can work as well as (or better than) standard radiation for HPV-related oropharynx cancer, while keeping the overall treatment shorter. It may help improve tumor control while aiming for manageable side effects.
London, OntarioAges 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+ - NCT05358548RecruitingPhase 2
Alternating treatment for advanced lung and head-neck cancers
This Phase 2 study tests an approach that alternates treatments for advanced lung cancer or recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds while managing side effects differently than standard back-to-back therapy.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05937477Recruiting
AI tool study to predict chemotherapy side effects and symptoms
This study tests an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool in a phone app that helps predict side effects and symptoms from chemotherapy. It may help patients and their care team plan and respond to side effects more effectively.
Seoul, GangnamguAges 20 years+ - NCT07407582RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sodium thiosulfate to protect hearing during cisplatin chemo
This trial tests whether a medicine called sodium thiosulfate can protect your hearing from the side effects of cisplatin chemotherapy. It is for people with newly diagnosed cancer who are about to receive cisplatin for the first time.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05955105RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ILB-2109 plus toripalimab for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests a combination medicine (ILB-2109) plus an immune therapy (toripalimab) in people with advanced solid tumors when standard treatments haven’t worked or aren’t available. It aims to find out if the treatment can shrink tumors and is safe enough to keep studying.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06192771Recruiting
Swallowing and speech therapy after tongue cancer surgery
This trial tests whether starting speech and swallowing therapy early after surgery helps people with tongue cancer recover their ability to eat and talk. It is for patients having part of their tongue removed and rebuilt with a tissue flap.

Heat and electrical stimulation for head and neck cancer recovery
This study tests whether applying far infrared rays (a type of heat) or mild electrical pulses to the skin can help improve short-term recovery in people with head and neck cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and radiation together. It aims to see if these treatments can reduce side effects or improve quality of life.
Hualien City, Hualien CountyAges 30–85 - NCT07190573Recruiting
Precision medicine study for head and neck cancer
This trial collects tissue and health information to find the best treatment for your head and neck cancer. It may help guide your care by looking at the genetic details of your tumor.
