Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Berzosertib (M6620, VX-970), to the Usual Treatments...
Lung Non-Small Cell Squamous CarcinomaStage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8This phase Ib/II trial studies the best dose of carboplatin when given together with berzosertib, gemcitabine and pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IV squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer that has spared to other placed in the body (advanced). Berzosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving berzosertib together with carboplatin, gemcitabine, and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer compared to carboplatin, gemcitabine, and pembrolizumab alone.

Metastatic Head and Neck CancerRecurrent Head and Neck Cancer3 moreVERSATILE-002 is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of PDS0101 administered in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with HPV16 and PD-L1 positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

A Study of Anti-PD-L1 Antibody in Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma....
Esophageal CancerThis is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Ib/Ⅱ clinical study to evaluate the safety and effect of anti-PD-L1 antibody (ZKAB001) in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of esophageal squamous carcinoma in combination with Alb-paclitaxel and cisplatin. The immunotherapy will be given before and after the operation every three weeks.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Adavosertib, to Radiation Therapy for Patients With...
Clinical Stage III Esophageal Adenocarcinoma AJCC v8Clinical Stage III Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma AJCC v857 moreThis phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of adavosertib and how well it works when given in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer for which no treatment is currently available (incurable). Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving adavosertib together with radiation therapy kill more tumor cells than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and NeckMelanoma11 moreThis is a Phase 1 first in human, open label, multi-center, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-279252 in subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas.

Trial of Ibrutinib Combined With Nivolumab or Cetuximab to Treat Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC
Head and Neck CancerSquamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and NeckThis is an open-label, randomized, phase II trial to test the efficacy of Ibrutinib in combination with either Nivolumab or Cetuximab in the treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic head an neck squamous cell carcinoma

Radiotherapy, Carboplatin/Paclitaxel and Nivolumab for High Risk HPV-related Head and Neck Cancer...
Oropharynx Squamous Cell CarcinomaThe purpose of this study is to find out if the addition of nivolumab can improve 2 year progression free survival (PFS) as compared to standard of care of fractionated radiation therapy (RT) and carboplatin/paclitaxel in subjects with high risk HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (tonsil, base of tongue, oropharyngeal wall, soft palate). Fractionated means the radiation will be administered in fragments or parts across multiple days.

Head and Neck NeoplasmsThis proof-of-concept study aims to assess the clinical and biological effects of Atezolizumab combined with Bevacizumab in advanced previously treated squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC).

Role of Microbiome as a Biomarkers in Locoregionally-Advanced Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma...
Head and Neck Squamous Cell CarcinomaThis is a single-centre feasibility study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and engraftment of MET-4 bacterial strains when given in combination with chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The study will involve a prospective cohort of 30 patients diagnosed with Locoregionally-Advanced Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LA-OPSCC) to be treated with CRT as per standard of care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. All patients enrolled will receive MET-4 in addition to standard CRT. MET-4 is administered orally as an initial daily loading dose over 2 days followed by a daily maintenance dose of MET-4 and will be administered until week 4 of CRT or unacceptable toxicity whichever occurs earlier and in the absence of criteria to discontinue MET-4. This protocol does not determine eligibility to receive treatment with concurrent CRT. It is anticipated that patient accrual will be completed within 12 months.

Surgery Followed by Risk-Directed Post-Operative Adjuvant Therapy for HPV-Related Oropharynx Squamous...
HPV Related Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell CarcinomaThe overarching goal of the MINT trial is to reduce treatment-related toxicity while maintaining efficacy. Patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) will undergo resection of the primary tumor site and involved/at risk regional neck nodes.
