Recruiting studies
- NCT03829033Recruiting
Photon vs proton radiation for early tonsil cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation—photon therapy and proton therapy—for early-stage tonsil cancer. The goal is to see which approach works well for cure while affecting surrounding tissues differently.
GävleAges 18 years+ - NCT04277858RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo plus robotic surgery for p16-positive throat cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before robotic surgery works well for certain p16-positive oropharyngeal (throat) cancers. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and allow the surgeon to remove the tumor with clean margins while avoiding cancer spread beyond the neck.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–80 - 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.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06902623Recruiting
Less intense radiation for early HPV throat cancer
This study tries to see if less intense radiation can still work well for certain throat cancers linked to HPV. It is looking for people with early stage HPV-positive oropharynx cancer who may benefit from a lighter treatment plan.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03556228RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested medicine for tumors with TrkA changes, alone or with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests VMD-928, a targeted cancer medicine, for cancers that have TrkA-related tumor changes. It may be given by itself or with pembrolizumab to see if it can shrink tumors when standard treatments have not worked.
Santa Rosa, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06851988Recruiting
Can exercise boost immunity and reduce head and neck cancer relapse?
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can boost your immune system and lower the chances of cancer coming back after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tonsil cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 6 recruiting tonsil cancer 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 tonsil cancer 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 tonsil cancer 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.
