Recruiting studies
- NCT06980038RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two immunotherapy drugs before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding a second immunotherapy drug (CDX-1140) to the standard immunotherapy cemiplimab before surgery is better than cemiplimab alone for people with stage III-IV head and neck cancer that can be removed with surgery.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06857279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HLX43 for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug called HLX43 for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07492914RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pre-surgery drugs for head and neck cancer
This trial tests two medications given before surgery for head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if shrinking the tumor beforehand improves outcomes. If you have operable head and neck squamous cell cancer and are generally healthy, you may be eligible.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07528183RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after chemo and radiation for recurrent nose cancer
This trial tests whether maintenance immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) followed by delayed salvage radiation therapy can help keep your cancer under control after you have already responded to initial chemo-immunotherapy. It is for people with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has come back in the nose or neck area, but has not spread to distant organs.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07705243RecruitingPhase 3
Maintenance therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (becotatug vedotin and an anti-PD1 immunotherapy) as maintenance treatment after initial chemotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread or returned. It's for people whose disease has not progressed after standard first-line treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06437522RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (BL-B01D1 plus a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with advanced head and neck cancer or other solid tumors that have come back or spread. It aims to see if the treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06662058Recruiting
Remote hearing test for head and neck cancer patients on cisplatin or radiation
This study tests a remote hearing test to monitor hearing changes in patients with head and neck cancer getting cisplatin chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to catch hearing loss early so treatment can be adjusted.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04448522RecruitingPhase 3
Lower-dose radiotherapy for EBV-responsive nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a reduced amount of radiotherapy can work as well as the standard dose for certain people with stage II–III nasopharyngeal cancer who respond well after initial chemotherapy. It’s designed for patients whose cancer markers improve after 3 chemotherapy cycles, to potentially reduce treatment side effects while keeping cancer control.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05283226RecruitingPhase 2
Oral anti-cancer pill plus paclitaxel after immunotherapy failure
This Phase 2 trial studies an oral study drug (NRC-2694-A) given with paclitaxel to treat head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back or spread after immunotherapy. It tests whether this combination is safer and works better than expected for people whose cancer progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05726370RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before surgery for recurrent head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus chemotherapy before curative surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable, recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer. It also studies how these treatments affect the tumor and immune response using required tissue and blood samples.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05808920Recruiting
Salvage surgery study for recurrent head and neck skin-cell cancer
This study looks at how well people do after “salvage” surgery (planned surgery after prior treatment) for recurrent or residual squamous cell cancer in the head and neck. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most, including how this surgery affects survival and day-to-day function.
DerbyAges 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+ - NCT06006169RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new drugs for head and neck cancer and other solid tumors
This trial tests two new drugs, BL-B01D1 and SI-B003, alone or together, for people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back or spread. It may also include other solid tumors. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06211335RecruitingPhase 1
Losartan, pembrolizumab and radiation for advanced head & neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—a blood pressure drug (losartan), an immunotherapy (pembrolizumab), and targeted radiation—for people with head and neck cancer that has come back, spread to a few spots, or is not responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can shrink tumors and help patients who have few options left.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06228079RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy after surgery for early reoccurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This study looks at whether adding chemo-immunotherapy after surgery is better than surgery alone for patients whose nasopharyngeal cancer has returned but is still in early stages. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back again.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06235203RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing treatment timing in recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
