It aims to lower the chance the cancer returns after surgery, especially in higher-risk situations.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT07121595RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized neck radiation for mouth cancer with sentinel node biopsy
This study tests whether a personalized approach to radiation therapy after surgery, guided by a special lymph node biopsy (sentinel node biopsy), can effectively treat mouth cancer while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is on one side of the mouth and has not spread to the other side of the neck or beyond.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06744296Recruiting

This trial uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after treatment for head and neck cancer. It aims to see if this test can detect any remaining cancer cells early, so you and your doctor can make informed decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07058805RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation therapy after surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy in a specific way (compartmentalized) after surgery for head and neck cancer is safe and effective. It is for people with certain types of head and neck cancer that have been removed, and aims to improve outcomes while managing side effects.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07063212RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan plus cetuximab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—sacituzumab govitecan and cetuximab—for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has gotten worse after immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this new treatment can shrink or slow the cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06947668Recruiting
Biomarker study for people who can't take cisplatin chemo
This study looks at immune system markers in patients with head and neck cancer who cannot receive the standard chemotherapy drug cisplatin. The goal is to understand how well a different chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) combined with radiation works in these patients.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06912087RecruitingPhase 1
Finding the right dose of a new combo for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new three-drug combination for advanced head and neck cancer that cannot be cured by local treatments. It aims to find the best dose of a targeted therapy called Zanzalintinib when given with two standard immunotherapy and targeted drugs.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06914999RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing a new scan to standard scan during head and neck cancer radiation
This trial is testing whether a newer type of PET/CT scan (F-18 NaF) can better detect blood vessel problems caused by radiation therapy than the standard scan (F-18 FDG) in people with head and neck cancer. If successful, it could lead to better ways to prevent and manage these complications.
