BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07060261Recruiting
Pre-op MRI for HPV+ tonsil cancer surgery
This trial is looking at whether an MRI before surgery can help improve outcomes for people with HPV-positive tonsil cancer who are undergoing robotic surgery (TORS). The results may help doctors better plan surgery to remove all cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07055841RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PD-L1 antibody plus chemo before surgery for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding a PD-L1 antibody (Adabelimab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help treat advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It is for people who have not had treatment for this cancer before and are well enough to undergo the therapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06988956RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab Plus Chemoradiation for Older Adults with Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests adding nimotuzumab, a targeted therapy, to standard chemoradiation for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer. It aims to see if the combination improves outcomes.
NanjingAges 75 years+ - NCT07044635RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation course after robotic throat surgery
This study tests whether a shorter course of radiation therapy after robotic surgery for HPV-related throat cancer is as effective as the usual longer course. It aims to reduce side effects while maintaining good outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 872 recruiting squamous cell carcinoma 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 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 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.
