Active clinical trials for "Salivary Gland Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving everolimus (RAD001) and erlotinib hydrochloride together with radiation therapy in treating patients with recurrent head and neck cancer previously treated with radiation therapy. RAD001 and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving RAD001 and erlotinib hydrochloride together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best way to give lyophilized black raspberries in preventing oral cancer in high-risk patients previously diagnosed with stage I-IV or in situ head and neck cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of lyophilized black raspberries may prevent oral cancer. Studying samples of oral cavity scrapings, blood, urine, and saliva in the laboratory from patients receiving lyophilized black raspberries may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and the effect of lyophilized back raspberries on biomarkers.

Aims of this study are analyses of tumor metabolome, tumor transcriptome and tumor proteome as well as of the immune infiltration, separated by histological entity. These data will subsequently be compared with the with the detailed immune status determined in the patient's peripheral blood and saliva using machine learning techniques, among others, to create a biomarker cluster for salivary gland tumors. These can be used in clinical routine. In addition, the investigators would like to study a subset of patients from freshly resected tumor organoids from freshly resected tumor tissue according to already established methods in order to mechanistic investigations of prognostic parameters.

The INDAGA-UK trial is a retrospective, multi-centre observational study in participants with locally advanced and recurrent salivary gland to investigate t its molecular profiling, and to explore new prognostic and druggable markers. We will analyse samples and data from patients diagnosed with salivary gland cancer from 2013 - 2023. Subject and sample identification will occur over a 12-month period. Samples and data will be analysed over the next 12 months prior to study end.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies whether acetylcysteine oral rinse will lessen saliva thickness and painful mouth sores in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Side effects from radiation therapy to the head and neck, such as thickened saliva and mouth sores, may interfere with activities of daily living such as eating and drinking, and may also cause treatment to be stopped or delayed. Acetylcysteine rinse may reduce saliva thickness and mouth sores, and improve quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy.

Bevacizumab may reduce CNS side effects caused by radiation therapy. This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bevacizumab works in reducing CNS side effects in patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the brain for primary brain tumor, meningioma, or head and neck cancer.

This pilot clinical trial studies L-lysine in treating oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. L-lysine may lessen the severity of oral mucositis, or mouth sores in patients receiving radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for head and neck cancer

This phase II trial studies the efficacy (the effect on the tumor) and the safety (the effect on the body) of the study drugs when given as a combination in participants with this type of cancer. Another purpose of the study is to see which tumor markers (proteins in the blood that the body produces in response to the cancer) lead to better results in participants treated with the study drugs. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are antibodies, which are human proteins that recognize and attach to a part of the tumor and/or body's immune cells. They work in slightly different ways to activate the immune system and help the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are investigational because they are not approved by the FDA to be used for the type of cancer being studied.

This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of postoperative current chemoradiotherapy for high-risk malignant salivary gland tumors of head and neck.The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in these patients.
