Lidocaine injection before throat cancer surgery
This early-phase trial tests whether injecting lidocaine (a numbing medicine) into the tumor before surgery can help with pain or other outcomes in people with oropharyngeal cancer. It's for patients who are already scheduled for a scope procedure and surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06753136Recruiting
Electrochemotherapy for internal organ tumors
This trial tests a treatment called electrochemotherapy for tumors in internal organs (like the liver or pancreas) when standard treatments are no longer possible. It uses a drug called bleomycin plus electric pulses to target cancer cells.
PadovaAges 18–99 - NCT06761937RecruitingPhase 1
Heat and radiation for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation and heat therapy (thermoradiotherapy) for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding heat can make the radiation more effective.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06772454Recruiting
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06794372RecruitingPhase 2
68Ga-FAPI-46 PET scan for head and neck cancer staging
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-FAPI-46) to see if it can better show the extent of head and neck cancers before surgery. It may help doctors plan your treatment more accurately.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06828588RecruitingEarly Phase 1
A new imaging test for people on HER2 cancer therapy
This study tests a new imaging drug called [68Ga]Ga-ABY-025 to see how well it shows HER2-positive tumors in people who are about to start or have just started HER2-targeted cancer therapy. It may help doctors see if the treatment is working.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 879 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.
