Inulin gel with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding an inulin gel to standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can help treat kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 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.

Study of chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (paclitaxel and cisplatin) plus an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) given before surgery for advanced esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.

Light-activated therapy with immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new light-activated treatment (ASP-1929) combined with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) as a first treatment for head and neck cancer that has come back in the same area but has not spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06676527Recruiting
Vorolanib for advanced kidney cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a targeted therapy pill, vorolanib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that has clear cell features and has gotten worse after initial treatment. It may offer a new option when standard second-line treatments are not working.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06664151RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Flu vaccine injected into skin cancer before surgery
This study tests whether injecting the seasonal flu vaccine directly into a skin cancer tumor can help the immune system attack it. You would receive the injection before your scheduled surgery to remove the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06662058Recruiting
Remote hearing test for head and neck cancer patients on cisplatin or radiation
This study tests a remote hearing test to monitor hearing changes in patients with head and neck cancer getting cisplatin chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to catch hearing loss early so treatment can be adjusted.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06648096RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing afatinib for head and neck cancer in Fanconi anemia patients
This trial tests whether the targeted drug afatinib can shrink advanced head and neck cancers in people who also have Fanconi anemia. It is for patients whose tumors cannot be surgically removed and have not responded to or cannot have other standard treatments.
HanoverAges 18 years+ - NCT06644781RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Ifinatamab Deruxtecan for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, Ifinatamab Deruxtecan, for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has worsened after standard treatments. It aims to see if it can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06640283RecruitingPhase 2
Circulating tumor DNA monitoring for cervical and anal cancer
This trial uses a blood test to track tumor DNA in patients with HPV-related cervical or anal cancer. It aims to see if this test can detect early signs of recurrence after radiation therapy, helping guide follow-up care.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06615635Recruiting
Radiation device trial for skin cancer in patients with weak immune systems
This trial tests a special radiation device (DaRT) placed directly into skin cancer tumors. It is designed for patients with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised) who have a single skin cancer lesion on the skin (not spread elsewhere).
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06606028Recruiting
Blood test for leftover cancer DNA after head and neck cancer treatment
This study uses a simple blood test to look for leftover cancer DNA after treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if the test can find very small amounts of cancer early, which might help doctors make better decisions about follow-up care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06567314RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Ivonescimab for advanced skin or prostate cancer
This study tests a new immunotherapy medicine, ivonescimab, in people with advanced skin cancer or advanced prostate cancer. It looks at how safe and effective the drug is.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532279RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BMX-001 with chemoradiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding BMX-001 (a drug that may protect healthy tissues) to standard chemoradiation can reduce side effects and improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer. It's a randomized study, so you would have a 50/50 chance of getting BMX-001 or a placebo.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma of the skin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 431 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.
