Rehabilitation graft after larynx removal for upper airway cancer
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special “rehabilitation graft” used after total laryngectomy (complete larynx removal) for upper airway cancer. The goal is to improve recovery and function after surgery by using a graft designed to support healing and rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have upper airway cancer that requires complete larynx removal (total laryngectomy)
- You can speak, read, and understand French, and you can sign consent after hearing the study risks and goals
- You are able to follow study visits and instructions (you’re not in a situation where you can’t be reliably assessed)
- If you can become pregnant: your pregnancy test is negative and you will use reliable birth control during the study
- Your scans and endoscopy show the tumor does not extend more than 1 cm below/at certain nearby areas
- You have no major conditions that make anesthesia or contrast dye unsafe

This trial tests whether joining workshops and exchange groups helps people who have had their voice box removed (a total laryngectomy) feel better supported. You would attend four sessions at Bichat Hospital to share experiences and learn from others.
This study tests a computer algorithm that helps plan the safest way to place a breathing tube for people with laryngeal cancer. It is for patients who need to be awake during this procedure.
This trial tests whether using a free or pedicled tissue flap during total laryngectomy reduces the risk of a pharyngocutaneous fistula (an abnormal opening between the throat and skin). It is for people whose laryngeal cancer came back after radiation or chemoradiation.
This study looks at whether a larynx (voice box) transplant can help people who have permanent loss of laryngeal function. It is a very small early evaluation (only 3 patients) and would require major surgery and medicines that lower the immune system.
This trial tests a new surgical technique to rebuild the lymphatic system in the neck during surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to reduce swelling and improve recovery after cancer removal.
This trial tests a new surgical method called 'λ+α' double-tract reconstruction after laparoscopic removal of the upper part of the stomach for early-stage stomach cancer. It aims to see if this procedure improves recovery and quality of life for patients.
