Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

This study is the first clinical study in PD-1 resistant patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with drugs targeting EGFR signaling pathway combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors, which explores the new combination therapies urgently needed in clinical practice and lays a foundation for subsequent studies, with important scientific research significance and clinical value.

The PRINCESS study is a hypothesis-generating, interventional, open-label, non pharmacological trial designed to characterize the translational and clinical implications of the regular assumptions of inulin on Gut Microbiota, circulating cytokines and immune cells dynamics during ICIs +/- chemotherapy on patients affected by R/M HNSCC.

This phase II trial investigates the effect of NBTXR3, radiation therapy, and pembrolizumab in treating patients with head and neck squamous cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). NBTXR3 may help make tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation therapy. Radiation therapy, such as stereotactic body radiation therapy, uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. And hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving NBTXR3, radiation therapy, and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells.

This is a phase 2 trial to assess the safety and tolerability of three schedules of CUE-101 administered in the neoadjuvant phase before standard of care (SOC) therapy to treatment naïve, HLA-A*0201 positive patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced HPV16+ oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma (OPSCC). This is an exploratory trial of a limited sample size to confirm safety and to assess for pharmacodynamic signals of efficacy in each of three schedules of CUE-101. Safety assessments will be performed at baseline and after CUE-101 administration. To assess for efficacy, peripheral blood and tumor samples will be collected at baseline and after CUE-101 administration. Following CUE-101, patients will proceed with SOC therapy, as prescribed by the treating physician.

The main aim of this study is to check for side effects and tolerability of TAK-186 (also known as MVC-101) in adults with unremovable advanced or metastatic cancer. Another aim is to characterize and evaluate the activity of TAK-186 (MVC-101). Participants may receive treatment throughout the study for a maximum of 13 months and will be followed up at 30 days and then every 12 weeks for up to 48 weeks after the last treatment.

A unique combinational treatment for cancer employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device with check point inhibitor for recurrent unresectable or metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This phase 1/2 combination trial of tipifarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, and alpelisib, a PI3K inhibitor in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) whose tumors overexpress the HRAS protein and/or are PIK3CA-mutated and/or PIK3CA-amplified.

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery has been the standard modality for locally advance esophageal carcinoma. According to CROSS study, the pathological complete remission rate achieved by paclitaxel and carboplatin with 41.4 Gy/23f was 49% for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. But the 10-year overall survival rate was only 38%. How to increase the overall survival of esophageal carcinoma is a pivotal task. Both of Camrelizumab and Nimotuzumab have been demonstrated to be efficacious in the neoadjuvant treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in some small sample-size trials. Therefore, this trial is designed to combine adjuvant chemoradiotherapy with Camrelizumab and Nimotuzumab for resectable & potentially resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and explore the safety and primary efficacy of such combination.

This study builds on the results of several prior studies that we have been involved with to test the hypothesis that Risk-Adapted De-Intensification of Radiation Therapy and chemotherapy based on HPV subtype, plasma circulating free HPV DNA (cfHPV DNA) level, and cfHPV DNA clearance rate produces Local-Regional Control rates that are similar to what has been achieved with more aggressive therapy in patients with Favorable Prognosis Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OPSCC).

To study induction therapy with Nab-paclitaxel, Cisplatin and Pembrolizumab in patients with Locally Advanced HNSCC.
