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

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, 3-arm, global Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination or MEDI4736 monotherapy versus SoC (EXTREME regimen) in the treatment of patients with SCCHN who have not received prior systemic chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease.

Part 1 of this study will establish a recommended Phase II (RPII) dose for the triplet combination of NC-6004 plus 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and cetuximab. Part 2 will provide the efficacy signal of the triplet combination in this patient population.

Multicenter, multicohort, non-randomized, prospective, open label, interventional study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) infusion (LN-145/LN-145-S1) followed by IL-2 after a non-myeloablative (NMA) lymphodepletion preparative regimen for the treatment of patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

This biomarker study has been designed to assess the effects of different agents in both tumour tissue and peripheral samples to help inform the best combinations of DDR agents with immuno-oncology (IO) therapies. In the first instance 2 DDR agents will be assessed separately as monotherapy. Additional arms may be added later to evaluate other DDR agents and/or DDR and immunotherapy agents in combination or in sequence. The primary objective of the study is to investigate immune activation due to DDR inhibition by assessing tumour and blood samples of patients treated with study investigational agent(s).

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with stage III-IV head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This is a randomized,controled, phase II, open label study of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy with Docetaxel versus Cisplatin for high-risk squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity cancer.The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel in OCC patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of palbociclib with cetuximab is superior to cetuximab in prolonging overall survival in HPV-negative, cetuximab-naive patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well ficlatuzumab with or without cetuximab works in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has come back or spread to other places in the body and resistant to cetuximab treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ficlatuzumab and cetuximab, may block growth signals that lets a tumor cell survive and reproduce, and helps the immune system recognize and fight head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The purpose of the study is to estimate the rate of response for patients with ovarian, non-small cell lung, prostate, colorectal, gastroesophageal, and head and neck cancers who are administered LY2523355.

RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Giving vorinostat together with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IVa squamous cell cancer of the oropharynx which is either unresectable or borderline resectable.
