Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

Primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are epithelial carcinomas with a high frequency of EGF-R expression. EGFR is an important regulator of tumour progression and proliferation in several types of cancer. Mechanism of action of Lapatinib in the EGFR and/or HER2 expressing oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells is attributed to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Based on the data from oesophageal SCCs the investigators hypothesise that EGFR signalling pathway and its interactions play an important role in the SCC pathogenesis and represent a good therapeutic target from these tumours. Primary Objectives: To evaluate the tumour response macroscopically in patients with primary cutaneous SCC lesions and in concomitant SCC in situ (AK). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate tolerability of a single dose regimen of systemic lapatinib therapy in patients with SCC as measured by time to first AE or SAE within the study period. To investigate the molecular tumour response of squamous cell carcinoma lesions in patients under lapatinib treatment using a set of variables. Trial with medicinal product

Whether low-dose radiation in addition to Taxotere and Erbitux improves the response rate of patients with recurrent unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Patients in the Phase 1b part of the study will be treated with ilixadencel at an increasing dose and frequency, in combination with standard doses and schedules of checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) pembrolizumab. The Phase 1b study will determine the optimal dose and schedule of ilixadencel. Patients in the Phase 2 part of the study will be randomly assigned to receive either ilixadencel (at the dose determined in Phase 1b) combined with the CPI, or only the CPI. Note: Recruitment to Phase 1b of the study has been completed.

This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining CDX-3379 and cetuximab. The study will enroll patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who have previously received cetuximab and progressed.

This is a phase 3 randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of Avelumab in combination with standard of care chemoradiation (SoC CRT) versus SoC CRT alone in front-line treatment of patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.

A study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and biomarker profiles of multiple study drugs as monotherapy in subjects with newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who are candidates for surgical resection.

This study is a prospective open label, multicenter, phase II, window-of-opportunity preoperative, single-agent trial. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, the safety and tolerability profile of bintrafusp alfa in patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx, previously untreated, with indication of primary surgery. Patients with a diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) from unknown primary will not be enrolled.

TiTAN-1 is a first-in-human study of GEN-011, an experimental treatment being evaluated in adult patients with advanced cancer. GEN-011 is a T cell therapy made specific to each patient, using the patient's own circulating immune cells. First, Genocea confirms which cancer proteins are recognized already by each patient's T cells using ATLAS™. Then, immune cells that recognize these cancer proteins are multiplied many times (a process called PLANET™) to create a personalized GEN-011 cell therapy, which is given back to the patient in one or more intravenous (IV) infusions.

The purpose of this study is to test the effects, of the research study drug Telomelysin (OBP-301) in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with inoperable, recurrent, or progressive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Telomelysin is an investigational treatment, while pembrolizumab and SBRT are approved standard treatments. The combination of these three treatments is also considered investigational.

To evaluate safety, immunogenicity and anti-tumor responses of intradermally delivered SNS-301 added to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in locally advanced unresectable or metastatic/recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) patients.
