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

This phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given together with cisplatin, docetaxel, cetuximab, and/or atezolizumab after surgery in treating patients with high-risk stage III-IV head and neck cancer the begins in the thin, flat cells (squamous cell). Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment (radiation therapy with cisplatin chemotherapy) to using radiation therapy with docetaxel and cetuximab chemotherapy, and using the usual treatment plus an immunotherapy drug, atezolizumab.

To learn if treatment with tiragolumab and atezolizumab before and after standard of care surgery and chemoradiation (radiation therapy with or without cisplatin/carboplatin) can help to control OCSCC that is PD-L1 CPS positive.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB2618 injection combined with Penpulimab and chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of relapsed/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to Penpulimab combined chemotherapy. Progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) were the primary efficacy endpoints.

This study is an open-label, multi-arm, parallel cohort, dose validation and expansion design. The study is modular in design, allowing evaluation of the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents for the treatment of patients with different tumour types. Each module is designed to evaluate a different NUC-3373 combination and consists of a dose-validation phase (Phase Ib) and a dose-expansion phase (Phase II). Phase Ib of each module will determine the safety and tolerability of the combinations for further clinical evaluation in Phase II. Approximately 6-20 evaluable patients will be enrolled in the Phase Ib stage of each module to determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents. Each module will then move into Phase II to enable a further assessment of safety and efficacy in approximately 20-40 patients. Module 1 will assess NUC-3373 + leucovorin (LV) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumours who have progressed on ≤2 prior therapies for metastatic disease, that may have included 1 prior immunotherapy-containing regimen (either monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy) or who have not progressed but where addition of NUC-3373 + LV to standard pembrolizumab monotherapy may be appropriate (e.g., patients who could not tolerate post- immuno-oncology (IO) standard of care therapy). Module 2 will assess NUC-3373 + LV in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pleural mesothelioma who have progressed on, or were unable to tolerate, 1 or 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy-containing regimens for advanced/metastatic disease. The opening of each module will be at the discretion of the Sponsor. Further modules may be added as non-clinical and clinical data become available to support additional NUC-3373 combinations and tumour types.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new drug plus standard treatment compared with standard treatment alone in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: is the new drug plus standard treatment safe and tolerable is the new drug plus standard treatment more effective than standard treatment

This is a single-center, single-arm, phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with cetuximab and chemotherapy as first-line for patients with relapsed/metastastic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

To learn if it is effective to use advanced radiation treatment techniques (stereotactic radiation or "SBRT") to safely deliver a strong dose of radiation to your tumor in a shorter period of time than would typically be feasible with traditional methods.

This research study is evaluating effectiveness and safety of a combination of immunotherapy drug, pembrolizumab, with chemotherapy, as a possible treatment before and after surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). The combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy will be given prior to your surgery, while immunotherapy pembrolizumab will be continued for approximately 1 year after surgery. The names of the study drugs involved in this research study are: pembrolizumab (a type of immunotherapy) docetaxel (a type of chemotherapy) cisplatin (a type of chemotherapy) carboplatin (a type of chemotherapy)

Sentinel node biopsy is a suitable alternative to END and is recommended in standard guidelines. Investigators have been doing SNB in their department to standardize the process for the last two years. This study aims to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of the SNB performed to standardize the procedure at their institute.

In this study, 100 patients with resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (oral squamous cell carcinoma and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma) were enrolled, who were combined with tirelizumab, carboplatin and albumin-binding paclitaxel before and after surgery. Tumor tissues and paracancer tissues of patients were collected to observe the imaging and pathological changes before and after treatment. At the same time, clinical information of patients, such as pathological grade, stage, treatment, prognosis, serology, imaging, etc. were collected to evaluate the safety and feasibility of tirelizumab combined with carboplatin and albumin-binding paclitaxel for neoadjuvant therapy of resectable oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. This is a prospective, one-arm, phase II clinical study. Purpose Main purpose The efficacy of Tirelizumab combined with carboplatin and albumin-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy for resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was evaluated by calculating the major pathological response (MPR) rates in the experimental group. The severity of adverse events associated with neoadjuvant therapy will be graded according to NCI CTCAE (version 5.0) during the course of this study and during follow-up, the incidence of adverse events in the experimental and control groups will be compared, and the safety of neoadjuvant therapy with Tirelizumab combined with carboplatin and albumin-paclitaxel in resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma will be evaluated. Secondary Purpose One-year event survival rate and event-free survival (EFS) of enrolled patients were evaluated (five years); Pathological complete response rate (pCR) of enrolled patients was evaluated (5 years); pTR of enrolled patients was evaluated; Overall survival (OS) of enrolled patients was evaluated (5 years); Radiological response of enrolled patients was assessed; The rate of operation delay of enrolled patients was evaluated;
