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

This study will consider the safety and effectiveness of a study drug, CAN04, in combination with pembrolizumab, in the treatment of incurable or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial cancer, or malignant melanoma. The study aims to establish a recommended dose of CAN04 in combination with the standard dose of pembrolizumab (Part 1), and in combination with pembrolizumab standard dose, and Standard of Care carboplatin and pemetrexed (Part 2 - subjects with stage IV, non-squamous metastatic NSCLC). CAN04, pembrolizumab. carboplatin and pemetrexed will be administered intravenously.

Nimotuzumab (hR3) is an humanized monoclonal antibody that recognized an epitope located in the extra cellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In phase II clinical trials a combination of Nimotuzumab with chemotherapy or radiation therapy achieved satisfactory therapeutic outcomes in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, or glioblastoma. We therefore postulated that Nimotuzumab in combination with conventional definitive chemotherapy might improve the rate of disease control (RDC), progression-free survival (PFS),and overall survival in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN , which is a poor-prognosis patient population for whom there is currently no standard treatment approach, we designed this trial to test this hypothesis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether participants with platinum-resistant squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) who receive either E7050 administered with cetuximab or cetuximab alone experience greater benefit.

This is a non-randomized, open-label phase II trial of 40 patients with poor prognosis head and neck cancer, defined as surgically unresectable and/or ≥N2b disease and judged appropriate for non-surgical definitive therapy.

The primary purpose of Parts A and B of this study is to evaluate the safety and toxicity of prexasertib (an inhibitor of checkpoint kinase 1[chk 1]) in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer (Part A), or squamous cell cancer of the head and neck or squamous cell cancer of any tumor type (Part B). Part C of the study will evaluate prexasertib in three different groups of participants; those with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck that has recurred or spread to other parts of the body, those with squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has recurred or spread, and those with squamous cell cancer of the anus that is not curable by existing therapy.

A study of PF-05082566, a 4-1BB agonist monoclonal antibody (mAb), in patients with solid tumors or b-cell lymphomas, and in combination with rituximab in patients with CD20 positive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether temsirolimus is effective in the treatment of relapsed/recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNSCC)

This open-label study will assess the pharmacodynamics, safety and efficacy of RO5083945 as compared to cetuximab in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Patients will receive at least 2 infusions of either RO5083945 or cetuximab. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 3 months, and target sample size is <50.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatment with bevacizumab + cisplatin + cetuximab + IMRT. The doctor wishes to monitor patients for 2 years after the completion of study treatment to determine if they are cancer-free during that time. They also want to evaluate the side effects that patients experience with this treatment regimen.

The goal of this clinical research study is to give cetuximab and/or IMC-A12 before surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, in order to learn if these study drugs may cause changes in biomarkers. Biomarkers are chemical "markers" in the blood and/or tissue that may be related to a reaction to study treatment. The safety of the study treatments will also be studied.
