Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06636734RecruitingPhase 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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.

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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06886347RecruitingPhase 1
New treatment for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer before chemotherapy
This trial tests a new treatment for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread (stage IVb) and who have not yet had chemotherapy. It aims to see if the experimental treatment is safe and effective as a first option.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06472713RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal mitoxantrone with immunotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of a chemotherapy drug (mitoxantrone liposome) with an immunotherapy (PD-1 blocker) for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread and hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05280314RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before and after surgery for stage III melanoma or throat cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy medicines given before surgery and again after surgery to help control the cancer and improve outcomes. It studies people with resectable (operable) stage III melanoma or certain stage III/IVA throat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07690787RecruitingPhase 2
Study of JS207 for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, JS207, which targets two proteins (PD-1 and VEGF) that help cancer grow. It's for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread too much, and who have not had certain prior treatments.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07509099RecruitingPhase 3
Combination treatment for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests a combination of two medications—cetuximab (a targeted antibody) and either pembrolizumab or finotonlimab (immunotherapies)—along with chemotherapy, for advanced head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve survival compared to standard treatment.

Test PD-1 plus chemo-radiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 immunotherapy (given with chemotherapy and radiation, and also after) can improve outcomes for people with high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help by strengthening the immune system’s attack on the cancer alongside standard treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 50 recruiting recurrent nasopharyngeal 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 recurrent nasopharyngeal 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 recurrent nasopharyngeal 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.
