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

This is a single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor combined with cetuximab in neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HNSCC.

HS-20093 is a fully humanized IgG1 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) which specifically binds to B7-H3, a target wildly expressed on solid tumor cells. This is a phase 2, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of HS-20093 as a monotherapy in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other solid tumors.

This trial studies how well an enhanced tobacco intervention protocol (ETIP) works compared to standard treatment in helping head and neck and lung cancer patients starting treatment to reduce cigarette use. ETIP is an evidence-based tobacco cessation program including specialized one-to-one and telehealth counseling, drug therapy, nicotine replacement therapy, and frequent patient follow up. ETIP may help reduce smoking and improve cessation in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer or non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of chemotherapy and radiation in combination with the investigational study drugs zimberelimab (AB122) and etrumadenant (AB928) in subjects with a locally advances head or neck cancer. The study will also ask how the study drugs change the following: The microbiome that lives in the mouth and on the skin Immune cells as they respond to a skin wound Scarring (fibrosis) caused by radiation After completing a screening phase, subjects will be assigned to one of three cohorts: Cohort 1: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation and zimberelimab followed by zimberelimab only. Cohort 2: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation, zimberelimab and etrumadenant followed by zimberelimab and etrumadent. Cohort 3: Subjects who will receive cisplatin and radiation followed by an observation period. All three cohorts will be followed for a 24 months following the conclusion of the chemoradiation.

This trial is main evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in the first-line treatment of Chinese patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with PD-L1 CPS≥20.

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-400 is given to adult participants to treat advanced solid tumors. ABBV-400 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Study doctors put the participants in groups called cohorts. Each cohort receives ABBV-400 alone (monotherapy) followed by a safety follow-up period. Approximately 220 adult participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract cancers (BTC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive [HR+]/HER2-breast cancer [BC]), head and neck squamous-cell-carcinoma (HNSCC), or advanced solid tumors, will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites worldwide. In the each cohorts, participants with the following advanced solid tumor indications: HCC, PDAC, BTC, ESCC, TNBC, HR+/HER2-BC, and HNSCC will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-400 monotherapy for up to 2 years during and up to the treatment period with an additional safety follow-up period of up to 2 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

This study will test the safety of a drug called SGN-EGFRd2 in participants with advanced solid tumors. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. Participants will have cancer that cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body (metastatic). This study will have three parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN-EGFRd2 should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose found in parts A and B to find out how safe SGN-EGFRd2 is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.

Primary objective: To investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BL-B01D1 monotherapy and BL-B01D1+SI-B003 combination therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (non-nasopharyngeal carcinoma), and to further explore the optimal dose and modality of combination therapy.

The goal of this observational study is to explore the application of temporal diffusion spectroscopy MRI in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The main questions it aims to answer are: If the quantitative parameters of temporal diffusion spectroscopy MRI can predict the comprehensive positive score (CPS) of pathological PD-L1 expression in HNSCC? If the quantitative parameters of temporal diffusion spectroscopy MRI can predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in HNSCC? Participants will receive head and neck MRI, including T2WI, T1WI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) and pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) sequence before and after neoadjuvant therapy. There is not a comparison group in our study.

Extranodal extension (ENE) refers to the spread of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) outside the lymph nodes. It is a well-known factor that indicates a poorer prognosis and outcome for patients who have undergone surgical removal of the cancer. In such cases, it is recommended to combine chemotherapy with radiation therapy after surgery. As the number of cases of HNSCC related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) is increasing, treatment approaches have shifted towards using radiation therapy as the primary treatment method instead of surgery. This raises an important question about the significance of ENE observed through imaging tests (referred to as iENE) and its impact on the prognosis. Unfortunately, this question remains unanswered. The objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive study across multiple medical institutions. The investigators will gather data including scan results, histopathology reports, and data from patient charts from individuals who have been treated for head and neck cancer. The aim is to analyze and correlate the findings between the pathological evidence of ENE and the imaging results, while also assessing the prognostic value of iENE. Additionally, the investigators will explore the influence of HPV status on these factors. By collecting and analyzing this data, the investigators hope to establish standardized criteria that can assist radiologists in accurately identifying ENE through imaging tests. This research is essential for enhancing our understanding of HNSCC and improving the effectiveness of diagnostic procedures and treatment planning.
