Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07682831Recruiting
Studying skin biopsies with advanced microscopy
This trial uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in new ways. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better without needing extra procedures.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT06239220RecruitingPhase 2
Combination immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three immunotherapy drugs (PD-L1 t-haNK, NAI IL-15sa, and cetuximab) for people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has spread or cannot be cured. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217171RecruitingPhase 1
Study of EVOLVE104 for advanced bladder and squamous cell cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug called EVOLVE104 for people with advanced bladder cancer or certain types of squamous cell cancers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05287945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07600476RecruitingPhase 1
Safety Study of KUP-101A in Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new drug called KUP-101A in patients with advanced solid cancers (like lung, colon, or breast cancer) that haven't responded to standard treatments. The drug works by activating the immune system to fight cancer.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915038Recruiting
Measuring tumor DNA in blood for HPV-positive throat cancer
This study looks at a blood test that finds DNA from HPV-related throat tumors. It may help doctors decide on surgery and check if the cancer is completely removed.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05377905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Microneedle skin treatment plus doxorubicin for skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether delivering chemotherapy through tiny skin needles (microneedles) can shrink or control cutaneous squamous cell cancer (cSCC) that can be surgically treated. Because it’s Phase 1/2, the main goals are to check safety and find the best way to deliver the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma of the skin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 429 recruiting squamous cell carcinoma of the skin 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 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin 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 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin 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.
