956 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study evaluates ADCT-301 in patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors. Patients will participate in a Treatment Period with 3-week cycles and a Follow-up Period every 12 weeks for up to 1 year after treatment discontinuation.
This phase II trial compares the effect of adding ipatasertib to pembrolizumab (standard immunotherapy) vs. pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them. 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 ipatasertib in combination with pembrolizumab may be more effective than pembrolizumab alone in improving some outcomes in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works, with or without BMS986205, in treating patients with stage II-IV squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. BMS986205 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving nivolumab with BMS986205 may work better than nivolumab alone in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
A small group of skin cancers of the head and neck, called resected cutaneous squamous carcinomas, are more aggressive than most cancers of this type, even after being treated with standard therapy. This trial will use stronger treatment to look at the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of combining a drug called Pembrolizumab with radiation after a cancer has already been treated to suppress secondary tumor formation in high risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Primary Objective To assess safety by looking at the people with dose limiting responses
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pembrolizumab, when given after salvage surgery, is effective in increasing the time a person with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck remains disease-free following locoregional disease recurrence.
This research study is evaluating a drug called buparlisib (BKM120) as a possible treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 when given together with cetuximab in treating patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN). Biological therapies, such as TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.
RATIONALE: Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Erlotinib hydrochloride may also make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x- rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for patients with head and neck cancer.PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving capecitabine together with lapatinib ditosylate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine and lapatinib ditosylate together works in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
To determine safety profile of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist, ZD1839 in combination with cisplatin and radiation therapy in patients with local-regional recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. To study the effects of ZD1839 combined with either cisplatin or radiotherapy on signal transduction pathway gene expression in tumor cells in patients with local-regional recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck using micro array analysis from tumor samples taken at the time of relapse and during treatment.
Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ixabepilone in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
The purpose of this research study is to develop a new chemo radiotherapy regimen for the treatment of cancer of the head and neck for patients who have received induction chemotherapy; and to determine the highest dose of Taxotere which can be safely given together with radiotherapy.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of cisplatin and gemcitabine in treating patients with advanced squamous cell cancer of the head and neck that cannot be surgically removed.
This study is being conducted to determine the best confirmed response rate, safety, and tolerability of GSK1363089 treatment in adult subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). GSK1363089 is a new chemical entity that inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) with growth-promoting and angiogenic properties. The primary targets of GSK1363089 are the HGF and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) RTK families (eg, MET, VEGFR2/kinase insert domain receptor \[KDR\]). Since MET overexpression has been associated with poorer prognosis and MET tyrosine kinase mutations have been reported in SCCHN, inhibition of MET receptor and VEGFR2/KDR activation by agents such as GSK1363089 may be of therapeutic benefit in this patient population.
This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and efficacy of SLV-154 across a range of dose levels when administered to subjects with metastatic solid tumors.
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 90 days and then every 12 weeks for up to 48 weeks after the last treatment.
INDP-D101 is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of Decoy20 as monotherapy and in combination with tislelizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
This dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IPI-549 monotherapy and IPI-549 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of tumor membrane vesicle (TMV) vaccine therapy alone and in combination with pembrolizumab and evaluates how well it works in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells, such as TMV vaccines, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. 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 TMV vaccine therapy alone or with pembrolizumab may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Time Restricted Eating (TRE) can improve responses in participants with metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (mHNSCC) receiving Immune Checkpoint Blockers (ICB) by changing the gut microbiome (the bacteria and other microorganisms living in individual's bodies). A particular focus of this study is to compare the outcomes of African American participants when compared to the rest of the participant population. TRE is a form of intermittent fasting where food and drink intake is limited to a specific time window during the day. The information learned from this study may help researchers develop new strategies to improve outcomes in patients with mHNSCC in the future. Participants will be asked to complete a dietary survey at baseline and week 9 and provide a baseline stool and blood sample. Two weeks before beginning ICB and after participants completed the baseline assessments, they will begin TRE. TRE will be defined as limiting food and drink intake to a 10 hour window during each day and fasting for 14 hours at night. Participants will be asked to complete a daily food log to document the times they eat and drink. On day 1 of ICB and weeks 3, 6, 9, 26, and 52 after ICB, participants will be asked to collect a blood sample and a toxicity assessment will be performed. On day 1 of ICB and weeks 9, 26, and 52 of ICB, participants will be asked to provide a stool sample. Participants will also undergo tumor imaging throughout the study as part of their standard of care assessments. If a participant's disease progresses after ICB, they will repeat all study assessments and be withdrawn from the study.
The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and evaluate the potential of the Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) device to more precisely identify and assess the neck lymph nodes which might be affected in patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.
The researchers are doing this study to find out if HB-202/HB-201 is a feasible treatment for people with HPV 16-positive head and neck squamous cell cancer (HPV 16+ HNSCC) who have received standard treatment for their disease but then tested positive for HPV 16-related tumor DNA in the blood through a test called NavDx. Participants will have no evidence of cancer on imaging scans (radiographically) or by medical examination (clinically). Past studies have shown that a positive NavDx test strongly suggests the possible presence of microscopic cancer, though we do not know if testing positive will definitely lead to the cancer coming back (recurrence). The NavDx blood test has not been approved by the FDA and is considered investigational.
This study will investigate the clinical validity and clinical utility of the OncoPrism-HNSCC (Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma) test.
This phase II trial tests whether atezolizumab works to shrink tumors before surgery in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer with an unknown or historic primary site that has spread to other places in the lymph nodes (regionally metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving atezolizumab before surgery may reduce the size of the tumor.
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 cause cell destruction when activated by radiation. 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 phase I/II trial investigates the best dose and effect of alisertib in combination with pembrolizumab in treating patients with Rb-deficient head and neck squamous cell cancer. Alisertib may help block the growth of cancer.. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving alisertib in combination with pembrolizumab may help control Rb-deficient head and neck squamous cell cancer. HPV positive head and neck cancers are Rb-deficient.
This is a Phase II treatment, non-randomized, open label clinical trial to study the efficacy of the Cetuximab when administered as single agent in recurrent/ metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma after the failure or intolerance of immuno-oncology or immuno-oncology combined with chemotherapy.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well bintrafusp alfa and stereotactic body radiation therapy work in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has occurred after having cancer in the past (second primary). Immunotherapy with bintrafusp alfa may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving bintrafusp alfa and stereotactic body radiation therapy may help to control recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer.
This trial studies how well standard and delayed fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) given after standard radiation and chemotherapy works in assessing patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, use radioactive material, such as fludeoxyglucose F-18, to find and diagnose head and neck tumors and may help to find out how far the disease has spread.
This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated radiotherapy and nivolumab work together in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back. Intensity-modulation radiation therapy uses varying intensities of radiation beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors, thereby reducing the damage to nearby healthy tissue. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy and nivolumab may work better at treating head and neck squamous cell cancer.
