Recruiting studies
- NCT06305676Recruiting
A study for early detection of HPV throat cancer
This study looks for early signs of HPV-related throat cancer. If you've just been diagnosed and haven't started treatment, your blood or saliva samples may help improve future screening tests.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05894083RecruitingPhase 2
PET-Scan Tailored De-escalation for p16+ throat cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that may lower (de-escalate) therapy intensity for certain p16+ or HPV-positive throat cancers. It uses PET scan results and tumor features to try to keep cancer control while reducing side effects.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06642324Recruiting
HPV and genetics in head and neck cancer study
This study looks at how HPV infection and genetic changes relate to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. If you have this type of cancer, joining could help doctors learn more about the disease and improve future treatments.
Dhaka, Dhaka DivisionAges 18 years+ - NCT06682494Recruiting
Oral Cancer Awareness for African Americans
This study aims to raise awareness about oral cancer in the African American community. It will help researchers understand how to better communicate about prevention and early detection.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05582122RecruitingPhase 2
Tracking HPV16 DNA in blood to spot cancer coming back
This study checks whether a blood test for HPV16 DNA can predict when HPV-related throat cancer comes back after treatment. It may help improve follow-up care by catching recurrence earlier.
Saint-Denis, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT06563362RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized radiation for oropharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a personalized approach to radiation therapy for oropharyngeal cancer. The goal is to safely reduce the amount of radiation to healthy lymph nodes, which may lower side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05865028RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug APG-157 for abnormal mouth tissue
This Phase 2 trial studies whether APG-157 can safely improve abnormal cells in the mouth (dysplasia) or early cancer-like changes (carcinoma in situ). You may be eligible if you have a visible, biopsy-proven lesion and can take oral medication while meeting blood and health requirements.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06223568RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without vaccine for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial compares standard chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy combined with an investigational vaccine (PRGN-2009) before surgery for newly diagnosed HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. The goal is to see if adding the vaccine improves outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04104945Recruiting
Trial to reduce radiation fields in p16+ oropharyngeal cancer
This study tests whether shrinking the “planned radiation area” (elective treatment volumes) can still treat p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer effectively. It may help reduce unnecessary radiation to nearby healthy tissues while keeping the cancer treatment curative.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for oropharyngeal carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 81 recruiting oropharyngeal 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 oropharyngeal 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 oropharyngeal 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.
