Active clinical trials for "Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck"

Tumours continually shed DNA into the circulation, where it can be accessed. This circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) directly reflects tumour burden and has great potential to be a sensitive biomarker for treatment recurrence. These "liquid biopsies" could give a more real-time picture of the genomic status and evolution of a tumour and can be easily assessed for measurement of different biomarkers. However, in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients treated with primary curative radiotherapy, data regarding ctDNA kinetics and its correlation with outcome are scarce. A new or additional tool for response evaluation next to or instead of conventional imaging after treatment would be beneficial to detect recurrences in an earlier stage, thereby increasing the chances of success of salvage therapy. More importantly, an early response parameter during treatment could help to identify patients that have a good treatment response and might benefit from treatment adaptation. With this study, we aim to reveal ctDNA as an effective tool for future dose (de)-escalation trials in HNSCC.

There is reason to believe that hyperbaric oxygen administered immediately prior to radiotherapy will prove beneficial for this cancer type and stage. The basis for this hypothesis is a review of several decades of published work, the conclusion of a recent (2018) Cochrane Review, and results of a Phase I trial.

This is a phase 2 study investigating the efficacy of ramucirumab in combination with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy. Ramucirumab is a VEGFR-2 inhibitor believed to potentially enhance the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors such as pembrolizumab.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy of TL117 plus paclitaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination of Sintilimab and SBRT on the basis of platinum-containing chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of limited metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LM-HNSCC).

This study will investigate the clinical validity and clinical utility of the OncoPrism-HNSCC (Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma) test.

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral malignancy worldwide. The prognosis of the OSCC patient is not significant despite the modern treatment facilities. Late presentation is one of the most crucial cause of this and for that reason, the importance of early diagnosis of OSCC should be the main concern. Till now, incisional biopsy followed by histopathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosis of oral cancer. The aim of the present study is to find out the association of salivary amino acid levels with oral squamous cell carcinoma, whether the levels are increased or decreased in the patient suffering from OSCC. This might be helpful for early diagnosis of oral cancer and better prognosis.

This clinical trial studies the use of virtual reality technology and three dimensional surgery (3D-surgery) modeling to enhance current treatments in head and neck cancer surgery. Virtual reality 3D-surgery modeling may improve quality of surgical planning and interdisciplinary communication between surgeons and pathologists during the treatment of head and neck squamous cell cancer and ultimately increase the accuracy of planning, the quality of communication, and maximize the outcome patients with head and neck cancer experience throughout treatment.

This is a national multicenter, randomized, stratified, open label study, aiming to compare mandibular reconstruction (MR) with or without preoperative virtual planning (PVP), in patients with oral/oropharyngeal cancer (OOPC).

This was a single arm, open-label, single center, cohort study to determine the efficacy and safety of AMT-116 CAR-T cells in patients with moderate or far advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNSCC)，AMT-253 CAR-T cells in patients with moderate or far advanced melanoma.
