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

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK and pharmacodynamics of INCAGN01876 when given in combination with retifanlimab. The study will consist of 2 parts: a safety lead-in part (Part 1) followed by a dose expansion part (Part 2).

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study designed to investigate SBT6290 administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in advanced solid tumors associated with Nectin-4 expression.

This study will identify baseline and/or pharmacodynamic biomarkers of response to ruxolitinib, based upon association with quantitative change in tumor size following 14-21 days of neoadjuvant ruxolitinib in patients with operable HNSCC.

This clinical trial studies direct visual fluorescence in finding oral cancer in high-risk patients and patients undergoing routine dental care. Diagnostic procedures, such as direct visual fluorescence, may help find and diagnose oral cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine if low-dose radiation therapy and the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel is effective in treating head and neck cancer that has returned after treatment with standard radiation therapy alone, but cannot be removed by surgery. The overall total dose received of both the chemotherapy and radiation therapy will be less than that typically given as standard of care; however, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not evaluated the safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy. In addition, this study will gather information about the effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy on subject's overall quality of life.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of entolimod in treating patients with stage III-IV or recurrent head and neck cancer. Biological therapies, such as entolimod, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Entolimod may also prevent side effects caused by chemotherapy with cisplatin and radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving entolimod together with cisplatin and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

To establish whether LJM716 in combination with cetuximab is safe and has beneficial effects in patients with platinum-pretreated recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This research study is testing a new treatment of cancer of the head and neck. Purpose This research study is being done to: Test the safety of the experimental cancer vaccine made of dendritic cells. An experimental vaccine is one that is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To learn what effects (good and bad) the vaccine will have on you and your head and neck cancer. To learn if the vaccine will stimulate your body's white blood cells, which are part of your immune system (your body's natural defense system).

The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with pembrolizumab, a type of immunotherapy drug. Immunotherapy works by allowing the immune system to detect your cancer and reactivate the immune response. This may help to slow down the growth of cancer and may cause cancer cells to die.

In this study the Investigators aim to determine specific volatile compounds present in breath samples of patients with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma before and after tumour resection or before and after chemotherapy +/- radiotherapy using gas chromotography-mass spectrometry. The Investigators hypothesize that study participants with a tumour will display a distinct set of volatile organic compounds than can serve as potential cancer biomarkers.
