Recruiting studies
- NCT07214987RecruitingPhase 2
PDT with immunotherapy and chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and two chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin and docetaxel) as a first treatment before surgery or radiation for advanced head and neck cancers. It may help shrink tumors that can't be easily treated with standard therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04099290Recruiting
Blood DNA test in newly diagnosed head and neck cancer
This study looks at “circulating tumor DNA” (tumor DNA found in blood) in people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer. Researchers want to see how the blood DNA levels relate to the cancer and how it may guide treatment after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04444869RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose radiation with chemotherapy for low-risk HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether a less intense (lower-dose) radiation plan, combined with chemotherapy, can control HPV-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancer with fewer side effects. It targets people considered “low-risk” based on tumor size and lymph node involvement.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back
This study looks at whether blood tests can detect signs that cancer may return after curative-intent treatment. You would have blood drawn around your usual follow-up visits for up to 5 years, and your de-identified health data would be shared with study investigators.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05144698RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAPA-201 cell therapy for certain advanced lung and head cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests RAPA-201, a personalized immune cell treatment made from your own T cells, for advanced solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has come back after standard treatment and after an anti–PD-1/PD-L1 antibody.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 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+ - NCT05286619RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for recurrent head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (platinum and gemcitabine) can control recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that can’t be cured with local treatments. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth in people who haven’t had cancer medicines for this stage before.
Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT05333523RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized neck radiation using a lymph node sentinel biopsy
This Phase 3 trial tests whether guiding neck radiation by checking the “sentinel” lymph node can target treatment more precisely in certain larynx, hypopharynx, or oropharynx cancers. It aims to improve control while potentially reducing unnecessary radiation to areas that don’t need it.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05668858RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test antibodies plus or minus chemo for advanced head and neck cancer
This early-phase study tests a combination of antibody medicines (with optional chemotherapy) in people with advanced or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see how well the treatment controls the cancer and what side effects are like.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05674396RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation to ease symptoms from head and neck cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific, shorter type of focused radiation to help relieve symptoms from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It compares two radiation timing/planning approaches to see which better improves comfort and quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05707078Recruiting
PET/CT follow-up for head and neck cancer
This study uses a PET/CT scan (a special scan that can look for signs of cancer activity) after curative treatment for head and neck squamous cell cancer. It aims to help check how well prior treatment is working and whether cancer may come back.
CopenhagenAges 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+ - NCT05793151Recruiting
Guided care to start cancer treatment on time after surgery
This trial tests a navigation program (help from a care coordinator) versus usual care to help people start the recommended “next-step” treatments (like radiation, sometimes with chemo) on time after surgery. It’s for certain stages of squamous cell cancer in the head and neck area where late treatment could matter.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06016920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HPV16 vaccine plus Keytruda for oropharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new vaccine (VB10.16) combined with the immunotherapy Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for people with HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT06030440RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lowering radiation after head and neck cancer surgery
This study tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation after surgery for head and neck cancer is as safe and effective as the standard dose. It aims to reduce side effects while still preventing the cancer from coming back.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06061705Recruiting
Finding markers in patients with head and neck cancer on immunotherapy
This trial looks for specific signs in your blood and tumor tissue that may show how well immunotherapy is working for recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. It aims to help doctors personalize treatment in the future.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06088381RecruitingPhase 2
HPV-related throat cancer treatment based on tumor DNA levels
This trial tests if monitoring cancer DNA left in your blood after surgery can help decide if you need additional treatment. It is for people with HPV-positive oropharynx (throat) cancer who have a certain amount of cancer DNA detected before surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06137378RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced throat cancer to avoid laryngectomy
This trial tests whether a drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help people with advanced throat cancer avoid removal of the voice box. You may be eligible if you have a specific type of larynx or hypopharynx cancer that hasn't been treated with radiation or immunotherapy before.
Mannheim, Baden-WürtembergAges 18–70 - NCT06183268Recruiting
