St Louis, MissouriAges 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+ - NCT05854823Recruiting
Reduced radiation after surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial looks at whether giving less (de-escalated) radiation after surgery is as effective and safer for people with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who had a strong response to treatment before surgery. If you had no remaining cancer or only very small amounts of cancer left in the surgical specimen, this approach may help reduce side effects while keeping control of the disease.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06087614RecruitingPhase 2

GävleAges 18–100 - NCT06256588RecruitingPhase 3
Dostarlimab vs placebo after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab, given after standard chemoradiation, can keep advanced head and neck cancer from coming back. It is for people who have not had surgery and whose tumors are PD-L1 positive.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06479070Recruiting
Using ctDNA to guide radiotherapy for head and neck cancer
This study looks at whether measuring a DNA fragment in the blood (called ctDNA) can help predict how well radiotherapy works for head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better tailor treatment for patients with stage III or IV disease.
Caen, CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06494943RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IBI110 and Sintilimab with Chemo for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (IBI110 and sintilimab) with chemotherapy before surgery for people with advanced head and neck cancer that can be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06525220RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs. standard for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab) compared to pembrolizumab alone for people with head and neck cancer that has spread or come back and cannot be cured locally. It may be an option if your cancer has a certain protein (PD-L1) and you haven't had prior cancer treatment for this stage.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 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+ - NCT06597565RecruitingPhase 2
ACR-368 plus low-dose gemcitabine for advanced head and neck cancer
This study tests a new combination of two drugs, ACR-368 and low-dose gemcitabine, for people with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when immunotherapy or other therapies haven't worked.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06607406Recruiting
Timing of radiation after surgery for head and neck cancer
This study tests whether starting radiation therapy more than 6 weeks (but within 16 weeks) after surgery is safe and effective for people with certain high-risk head and neck cancers. It could help those who had to delay radiation for recovery or other reasons.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06642324Recruiting
