Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- 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.

Testing cetuximab plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding cetuximab to the standard drug pembrolizumab works better for head and neck cancer that has spread or come back after treatment. It is for people whose cancer did not respond to platinum chemotherapy and whose tumors have a certain immune marker (PD-L1).

Oropharynx cancer biomarker study
This study looks at certain markers (called p16 and HPV) in tumor samples to better understand oropharynx cancer. It may help doctors learn more about the disease and guide future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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.
Duluth, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997068RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib—for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or spread. It is designed for patients in the rural Midwest who have already had or chosen not to have standard first treatment.

What taking part in a stage iv oropharyngeal (p16-negative) carcinoma ajcc v8 study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
