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

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study evaluates the combination of BYL719, cisplatin and cetuximab as induction chemotherapy prior to minimally-invasive transoral surgery (TORS or TLM) and selective lymph node dissection (SLND), followed by risk-adapted intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with transorally resectable, Stage III-IVa, HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experimental immunotherapy agent cemiplimab-rwlc when given after completion of chemotherapy and radiation treatment and determine if it will improve progression free survival and cure rates in patients with PD-L1 positive locally advanced head and neck cancer.

The aim of this study is to find the safe dose and best dosing schedule of olaparib to give in combination with cisplatin based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. The dose decided on in this part of the study will become the recommended dose for the randomised Phase II trial.

This is an open-label study designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of enoblituzumab in combination with MGA012 or MGD013 in first-line treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).

Combination immune checkpoint inhibitor and DNA vaccine will result in clearance of HPV DNA biomarkers (oral and/or plasma) for patients with persistent HPV-16 E6/E7 DNA (HPV biomarker) after treatment with curative intent.

This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and IRX-2 and how well they work in treating participants with stage III-IVA oral cavity cancer or human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. IRX-2 may "turn on" the immune system and stimulate an immune response against tumor cells. Giving nivolumab and IRX-2 followed by surgery may work better at treating oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer.

This study is being done to see whether Avmacol®, a dietary supplement made from broccoli sprout and seed extract powder, induces changes in inner cheek cells that may be protective against environmental toxins such as tobacco. There are three main goals of the study: To learn whether the dietary supplement, Avmacol®, can stimulate cheek cells to repair damage from environmental toxins; to learn how the body metabolizes Avmacol®, by measuring its byproducts in the participant's urine and blood; to learn whether the immune system can be stimulated by Avmacol®, by studying the natural killer cells and T cells in the participant's blood.

This study evaluates how well panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab work in identifying cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer. Panitumumab-IRDye800 is a drug that contains a dye molecule that fluoresces during surgery to indicate cancerous tissue. 89Zr-panitumumab is a drug that contains a small amount of radiation, which makes it visible in positron emission tomography (PET) scans. PET scans make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the drug is used. Giving panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab to patients with head and neck cancer may help doctors find metastatic lymph nodes better than current methods [positron emission tomography (PET); computed tomography (CT); magnetic imaging resonance (MRI), or combinations].

This is a phase 2 single arm study of a novel schedule of hyperfractionated radiotherapy (RT) in combination with our standard chemotherapy program for patients with stage 3-4 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. The primary hypothesis of our study is that the study program will improve Laryngectomy-Free Survival compared to historical controls. The study is limited to patients who would be receiving primary RT-C as standard therapy off-study.
