Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib works with carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating participants with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as sorafenib, carboplatin, and paclitaxel, 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.

This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated radiotherapy and nivolumab work together in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back. Intensity-modulation radiation therapy uses varying intensities of radiation beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors, thereby reducing the damage to nearby healthy tissue. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy and nivolumab may work better at treating head and neck squamous cell cancer.

This is a multi-center, open-label, phase 1 dose escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety, anti-tumor effect, and immunogenicity of CUE-101 as monotherapy treatment in second line or CUE-101 Combination Therapy with Pembrolizumab in first line patients with HPV16+ Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

This is a dose escalation, MTD expansion (Phase 1b) and cohort expansions (Phase 2) study to assess the safety and tolerability of a combination of NAP with durvalumab in subjects with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

This phase II single arm study is being done to determine if bavituximab could potentially synergize with PD-1 inhibitor therapy to generate an effective anti-tumor immune response in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer (HNSCC) who progressed on a PD-1 inhibitor.

This phase II trial studies how well MLN4924 (pevonedistat), carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. Pevonedistat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pevonedistat together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer when compared with other standard chemotherapy drugs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab as first line treatment in combination with chemotherapy in participants with advanced unresectable/metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

This is a Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of VCN-01 in Combination With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Subjects With Recurrent/Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. VCN-01 is a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus characterized by the presence of four independent genetic modifications on the backbone of the wild-type HAd5 adenovirus genome, encoding human PH20, that confer tumor selectivity and anti-tumor activity. Durvalumab is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) 1 kappa subclass that inhibits binding of PD-L1. The proposed mechanism of action (MOA) for durvalumab is interference in the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80 (B7.1). Blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 and PD-L1/CD80 interactions releases the inhibition of immune responses, including those that may result in tumor elimination.

To estimate the clinical benefit of cemiplimab monotherapy versus cemiplimab in combination with RP1 for patients with locally advanced or metastatic CSCC, as assessed by overall response rate (ORR) and complete response rate (CRR) according to blinded independent review.

This clinical trial will evaluate a new combination of treatments for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell cancers (OPSCC), and compare it to the current standard of care (concurrent, platinum-based chemoradiotherapy). Chemoradiotherapy is efficacious, but also associated with significant toxicities and is only suitable for patients with good performance status and without severe comorbidities. The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate equivalent oncologic outcome with fewer adverse effects and improved quality of life when compared to the standard of care.
