Oral bacteria changes with chemoimmunotherapy for mouth cancer
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can help treat advanced oral cancer. Researchers will also look at how the cancer changes the bacteria in your mouth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy before and after surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment is given first to shrink the tumor, then again after surgery to help prevent recurrence.
This trial compares two approaches after initial treatment: radiation therapy versus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to see which better prevents cancer from coming back. It is for people with advanced oral or throat cancer who have already completed chemoimmunotherapy and surgery to remove all visible cancer.
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation (SBRT) to a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced mouth or throat cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor more effectively before removal.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (tirellizumab) combined with chemotherapy before surgery for early-stage oral cancer. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how well NAIC treatment helps shrink advanced mouth or throat cancer. It aims to find patterns in how tumors respond to treatment.
This trial tests combining radiation therapy with immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery for advanced oral or throat cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve treatment outcomes.
