Recruiting studies
- NCT06648096RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing afatinib for head and neck cancer in Fanconi anemia patients

Blood test study for head and neck cancer that has returned or spread
This trial is testing a new blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to better understand and predict the course of head and neck cancers that have come back or spread. If you join, researchers will use a special chip to look at your immune cells and tumor cells in your blood.
Zhubei, HsinChu CountyAges 20 years+ - NCT06744296Recruiting
ctDNA surveillance for HPV-negative head and neck cancer
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+ - NCT06761937RecruitingPhase 1
Heat and radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation and heat therapy (thermoradiotherapy) for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding heat can make the radiation more effective.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06856213RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab with or without weekly paclitaxel for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (Taxol) to the targeted therapy cetuximab (Erbitux) is more effective than cetuximab alone for head and neck cancer that has progressed after initial immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if the combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868433RecruitingPhase 1
TMV vaccine alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced HNSCC
This trial tests a vaccine made from your own tumor to help your immune system fight head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. It is given alone or with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) to see if it can shrink tumors or slow progression.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06869473RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab, chemo, and avelumab for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (cetuximab) and immunotherapy (avelumab) plus chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if adding these medicines helps control the cancer longer.
Cagliari, CAGLIARIAges 18 years+ - NCT06905145Recruiting
Molecular testing for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial is for people with head and neck cancer that has not spread to distant parts of the body. It is a non-treatment study that will look at the molecular features of your tumor from a biopsy sample to help guide future treatment decisions.
NaplesAges 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 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+ - NCT07058805RecruitingPhase 2
Post-radiation therapy for head and neck cancer
This trial studies a standard type of radiation therapy given after surgery for head and neck cancer. It aims to see if giving radiation only to certain areas of the neck can control the cancer with fewer 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+ - 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+ - NCT07333274RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus nimotuzumab for head and neck cancer
This trial compares radiation therapy alone versus radiation therapy plus a targeted drug called nimotuzumab for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot take cisplatin chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding nimotuzumab improves outcomes.
Shandong, ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT01473784Recruiting
Robot-assisted mouth and throat surgery for head and neck tumors
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03215719RecruitingPhase 2
De-escalating treatment for HPV-positive throat cancer with low-risk signals
This Phase 2 trial tests whether people with HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer who look “lower risk” can safely receive less intensive treatment. It uses HPV blood test results and cancer staging scans to guide whether treatment can be de-escalated.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07408063RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new drug for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new drug (GSK5764227) for head and neck cancer that has spread or come back. It looks at your tumor's biomarkers to understand why some people respond to treatment. You may need to have had certain prior treatments depending on which group you join.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07419464RecruitingPhase 2
Testing 5-FU for head and neck cancer that has returned
This trial tests the drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It aims to see if 5-FU can help when other treatments have stopped working.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07423078RecruitingPhase 2
Larynx preservation trial for advanced throat cancer
This trial tests a new approach to treat throat cancer while trying to preserve your larynx (voice box). It combines chemotherapy drugs and an immunotherapy drug before surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this can help you avoid needing to have your larynx removed.

Two immunotherapies before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ficerafusp alfa and pembrolizumab) given before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
