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

This study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of expanded activated autologous NK cells administered after cetuximab in patients with EGFR-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Clinical Phase: phase II single arm study Primary Objectives: Response rate Number of Subjects: 27 patients Study Population: recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Investigational Product(s), Dose, and Mode of Administration: Durvalumab 1500mg plus tremelimumab 75mg via IV infusion Q4W, starting on Week 0, for up to a maximum of 4 doses/cycles followed by durvalumab monotherapy 1500mg via IV infusion Q4W, starting 4 weeks after the last infusion of the combination until progression.). Proton therapy 5 GyE x 5 fractions - Study Assessments and Criteria for Evaluation: Safety Assessments: according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0 Efficacy Assessments: according to RECIST version 1.1 - Statistical Methods and Data Analysis: PFS: from the date of treatment to the date of progression or death or last follow-up OS: from the date of treatment to the date of death or last follow-up - Sample Size Determination: Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of HNSCC. In this phase II study, up to approximately 27 eligible patients will be enrolled. It is anticipated that full accrual to this study will take approximately 24 months. H0: Objective response rate ≤10% H1: Objective response rate ≥35% According to Simon's two-stage optimal design (power of 90% and one-sided alpha of 0.05), this study needs total 27 evaluable patients. At the first stage, 11 patients would be enrolled. If two or more among them achieve objective response, the study will go forward the second stage. At the second stage, 16 additional patients (total 27 patients) would be enrolled. Among the total 27 evaluable patients, six or more objective responses are necessary for this drug to be evaluated further in the group of R/M HNSCC

One promising approach to the treatment of cancer is inhibition or modulating the crucial signal transduction pathway of PI3K-Akt-mTOR. Several PI3K inhibitors are being tested in the clinical trials for cancer treatment but not for the head and neck cancer yet. BYL719 is an alpha specific I PI3K inhibitor. It showed significant, concentration dependent cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis. We suggest multicenter single arm phase II study to determine anti-tumor effects of BYL719 in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN who failed to prior chemotherapy regimens. Enrollment will be done in 5 or more clinical trial centers in Korea. Primary objective is to evaluate disease control rate (DCR) at 8 weeks of BYL719, and the efficacy will be evaluated by the investigators analysis based on RECIST version 1.1.

The purpose of the study is to assess in a randomized, double blind, controlled, multi-center, phase III study, the efficacy of low level diode laser (100 MW, 658 Nm), in the prevention and treatment of radiochemotherapy-induced mucositis for stage III and IV head and neck carcinomas.

Primary To investigate in patients with relapsed or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck whether progression free survival (PFS) in the arm with cetuximab, paclitaxel and carboplatin based chemotherapy is not markedly worse than PFS in the arm with cetuximab and 5-FU, cisplatin or carboplatin based chemotherapy. Secondary To compare in patients with relapsed or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck the following study variables between both treatment arms: Best overall response Duration of response Time to treatment failure Overall survival Safety

The aim of the study is to test whether a resource-sparing 4-week, 20-fraction course of accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy is non-inferior to accelerated radiotherapy delivering 33 fractions over 5.5 weeks in the treatment of patients with Stage I-IV squamous cell carcinoma of the pharynx, larynx and oral cavity with the exception of paranasal sinus, nasopharyngeal and stage I-II glottic carcinomas.

60% of hypopharyngeal cancers were locally advanced at the time of diagnosis. The standard treatment was surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Compared with traditional surgery and postoperative radiotherapy, induction chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy has a better laryngeal retention rate without reducing the curative effect, and established an organ function preservation treatment strategy. Induction chemotherapy can reduce tumor burden and reduce distant metastases. At present, induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy has become the standard treatment for the laryngeal preservation in locally advanced hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a PD-1 inhibitor toripalimab combined with chemotherapy as induction therapy in hypopharyngeal cancer.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of MRG003 in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of JAB-3068 administered in investigational regimens in adult participants with advanced solid tumors.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SCT-I10A for Recurrent/ Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous cell Carcinoma who progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy
