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

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the addition of OSI-906 to cetuximab can improve response. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. Objectives: Primary Objective(s): To assess progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with a combination of cetuximab plus OSI-906 and compare it with PFS among patients treated with cetuximab plus placebo. Secondary Objective(s): To assess the safety and toxicity of these treatment regimens. To assess the efficacy of these two treatment regimens in terms of overall survival, response rate, and disease control rate To assess the efficacy of single agent OSI-906 following cetuximab treatment in terms of response rate and disease control rate in patients who cross-over from Arm B to receive single-agent OSI-906 To explore blood-based and tissue biomarkers

This is a study to assess how much of the investigational drug, PF-00298804, is in the blood stream over a period of time (called pharmacokinetic tests or PK) in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who have a (gastrojejunostomy) feeding tube.

Open, multicenter, single arm, phase II, biomarker driven umbrella trial for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Given that up-regulation of the Wnt pathway has been identified as having a significant role in carcinogenesis in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the investigator believes that inhibition of Porcupine via WNT974 will result in tumor control hence improvement in disease free and overall survival in these patients with a tolerable toxicity profile. As suggested by pre-clinical models, patients with a tumor harboring a Notch receptor (any of the four) loss of function mutation may have a greater response rate to treatment with WNT974. The investigator aims to address this question by administration of single agent WNT974 and following response radiologically along with close clinical follow up to monitor toxicities.

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of 13-cis retinoic acid in preventing second primary malignancy in the oral cavity cancer patients after curative local treatment and to study the toxicity and compliance of 13-cis retinoic acid.

This phase I/Ib trial will assess the dose, safety and side effects of the combination of the cancer drugs afatinib (GILOTRIF®) and nivolumab (OPDIVO®) and to assess the anti-cancer effects of this combination of drugs when used to treat patients with advanced head and neck cancers that did not respond to previous treatments.

This study is to evaluate diagnostic performance, safety and timing of post-dose imaging of ONM-100, an intraoperative fluorescence imaging agent for the detection of cancer in patients with solid tumors undergoing routine surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of nivolumab plus epacadostat in combination with chemotherapy in first-line recurrent or metastatic patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) when compared to the standard of care (EXTREME regimen).

This is a study of Nivolumab in combination with experimental medication BMS-986205 compared to the standard of care EXTREME regimen in head and neck cancer that has come back after initial treatment, or is widespread when first diagnosed.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the rate of local regional control at 2 years when using de-intensified chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Local regional control means no recurrence of the cancer in the head or neck area. Study subjects will be enrolled into 4 groups. Group/treatment will be based on a number of factors, including smoking and drinking history.
