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

This project aims to organise the sampling of blood and tumor at key points of the standard of care of patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). This will allow to identify new potential predictive biomarkers of efficacy of immunotherapy and to investigate the evolution of the tumoral microenvironment after successive systemic treatments.

This is a single center, open-label phase I clinical trial designed to determine the safety of personalized and adjusted neoantigen peptide vaccine (PANDA-VAC) administered concurrently with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN).

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a blood-based test that measures dying or dead cancer cells that are already circulating in the blood. In this study, the investigators will enroll patients who are planning to receive surgery to remove their head and neck cancer. The investigators are interested to learn how ctDNA levels change with surgery and over the course of time. The investigators also want to determine if there are certain features of the tumor or the patient themselves that might cause ctDNA to be higher than other patients. Also, the investigators want to explore if the detection of ctDNA following surgery is related to cancer recurrence.

This study is a Phase 1b open-label study designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of WU-NK-101 in combination with cetuximab in patients with advanced and/or metastatic CRC (Cohort 1), and in patients with advanced and/or metastatic SCCHN (Cohort 2). The overall study will be comprised of two phases, a Dose Escalation Phase, and a Cohort Expansion Phase.

A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device (DaRT) as a treatment prior to additional radiation or chemo therapy.

This study is a prospective, open label, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with concurrent radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone in high-risk patients with HNSCC not suitable for cisplatin after surgery. The subjects were randomly divided into study group (nimotuzumab combined with concurrent radiotherapy) and control group (radiotherapy alone) by 1∶1 stratified random method.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good and/or bad, of treating participants with HPV-mediated oropharyngeal cancer, with less treatment, using the new staging system. The investigators believe this treatment will provide the same effectiveness as the usual treatment, but decrease the side effects. The radiation doses, chemotherapy doses, and the type of surgical approaches that will be used in this treatment protocol have all been previously investigated. Previous research suggests that this can be done safely, but there has not been a study done basing treatment on the new staging system.

Prospective will be collected in a minimum of 300 patients presenting with an acquired segmental mandibular defect ≥ 4 cm secondary to OSSC removal and who require mandibular reconstruction.

The purpose of this prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-label II phase observation clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pembrolizumab immunoadjuvant therapy in patients with stage III-IVA oral squamous cell carcinoma. The primary end point is the pathological tumor remission rate of the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes after neoadjuvant immunotherapy (pTR-2: the proportion of necrotic tumor cells, keratin fragments and giant cells in tissue sections > 50%). The secondary endpoints are 1-year disease-free survival (DFS), 1-year overall survival (OS) and the incidence of adverse events, compared with historical data. In addition, we will check the relevant immune indicators, such as PD-L1 and CPS scores.

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase I, first-in-human trial to characterize the safety and clinical activity of an antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell product in patients with relapsed or refractory locally advanced or metastatic HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers. Patients must have received at least one prior standard treatment regimen consisting of systemic immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The investigative agent is an autologous adoptive T-cell product derived from the patient's endogenous cytolytic T cells that are directed toward HPV-16 E6/E7, HPV-18 E6/E7 antigens, and a tumor-associated antigen (Survivin) by ex vivo exposure to an artificial antigen presenting cell to which HLA-A2 antigen-peptides have been fit within the pocket of an MHC class 1 molecule. Patients must express HLA-A*0201.
