Recruiting studies
- NCT05874492Recruiting
Spa therapy for radiation-related skin fibrosis after cancer
This trial tests whether a spa therapy program can improve “fibrosis,” or stiffened/scarred tissue and related skin problems, after radiotherapy for breast cancer or upper head/neck cancers. It aims to see if treatment can improve quality of life for people who still have moderate-to-worse symptoms months after radiation.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05442957Recruiting
BRIGHT program after head and neck cancer treatment
This trial tests a “renewed image” program (BRIGHT) compared with another option (AC) after you’ve finished treatment for certain head and neck cancers. It may help you with emotional well-being and adjustment after cancer.

Botox for Jaw Tightness After Head and Neck Radiation
This study tests whether Botox injections into the jaw muscles can help head and neck cancer survivors who have trouble opening their mouths (trismus) after radiation therapy. If you have tight or painful jaw muscles and limited mouth opening, this treatment may offer relief.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06831903Recruiting
Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer
This trial is studying a type of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It aims to find the best way to deliver radiation to help treat the cancer effectively.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, [212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET, that targets a protein on certain cancer cells. It is for people with specific types of advanced cancers that have gotten worse and are not responding to standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT03702309Recruiting
Banking and testing blood samples to study cancer
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07431099Recruiting
Skin color matching in head and neck reconstruction
This trial tests a new way to match skin color during reconstructive surgery on the head and neck. It may help improve how the surgical site looks and how you feel about your appearance.
Guilford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06149637Recruiting
Lateral neck lymph node surgery for thyroid cancer
This trial tests a surgical procedure to remove cancer-affected lymph nodes on the side of the neck in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those with confirmed or suspected spread to these nodes.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18–99 - NCT05738187Recruiting
Cryotherapy for repeat head and neck cancer after prior radiation
This pilot study tests whether cooling treatment on the tumor area (cryotherapy) can control a repeat head/neck cancer that can’t be removed and has already been treated with radiation. It also checks safety, especially in areas that have received radiation before.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06851988Recruiting
Can exercise boost immunity and reduce head and neck cancer relapse?
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can boost your immune system and lower the chances of cancer coming back after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer.
New Taipei CityAges 20–80 - NCT06791941Recruiting
Studying therapy resistance in recurrent head and neck cancer
This study looks at why some head and neck cancers come back after treatment. It will test tumor tissue from people having surgery to see if certain proteins (mutant p53 and YAP) are linked to treatment resistance. Your participation could help researchers understand how to better treat these cancers in the future.
Roma, RomeAges 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+ - NCT05076760RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus with standard treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests MEM-288, an oncolytic (cancer-killing) virus, either alone or combined with standard cancer medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in different cancer types and after specific prior therapies.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06184880Recruiting
Physical activity program for sedentary cancer patients
This trial tests whether a remote physical activity program can help reduce time spent sitting for people with new upper aerodigestive tract cancer. If you qualify, you may be able to take part in exercise sessions from home.
ValenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06667427Recruiting
Nerve transfer for facial paralysis in cancer patients
This study tests whether nerve transfer surgery can improve facial movement and quality of life in cancer patients with facial paralysis. Participants either receive the nerve transfer or are part of a control group that had past facial surgery without nerve repair.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07296250Recruiting
Tracking cancer cells after chemoradiation for oral cancer
This trial studies whether detecting circulating tumor cells in the blood after chemoradiation can help predict outcomes for people with oral cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It may help doctors better monitor the disease.
Taoyuan CityAges 1.5 years–90 years - NCT05757817Recruiting
New flap surgery for mouth or throat cancer reconstruction
This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05947149Recruiting
Quality-of-life study in head and neck cancer after hadrontherapy
This study asks people with certain head and neck cancers (or long-term survivors) about how hadrontherapy affected their quality of life. It may help doctors understand long-term wellbeing and care needs after treatment.
Pavia, PvAges 18 years+ - NCT03145077Recruiting
MRI test to diagnose jaw bone damage after head and neck radiation
This study uses special MRI scans with contrast to better detect osteoradionecrosis (jaw bone injury) after radiation for head and neck cancer. If you qualify, the scans may help your team diagnose problems earlier and choose the right next treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07085091RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALX2004 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ALX2004, for people with certain advanced cancers (head and neck, lung, esophagus, or colorectal) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06896448Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neck cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 526 recruiting neck cancer 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 neck cancer 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 neck cancer 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.
