138 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Phase II study to investigate the antitumor activity in terms of objective response rate (ORR) of tipifarnib in subjects with advanced tumors that carry HRAS mutations and for whom there is no standard curative therapy available.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of 2 chemotherapy drugs called pemetrexed and gemcitabine might be effective treatment for head and neck squamous cell cancer. The researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, that this treatment has on head and neck cancer.
This is a phase 1b study, which means that the purpose of the study is to establish the maximum dose of a pill drug called BYL719, when given with a standard treatment for patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out if the experimental drug pralatrexate with the vitamins folic acid and vitamin B12 might be an effective treatment for head and neck cancer. The reason we are doing this study is because another drug called methotrexate has been used for a long time to treat head and neck cancer patients. Pralatrexate was designed by scientists to be a new drug that works better than methotrexate. Laboratory studies have shown that pralatrexate works better than methotrexate at killing cancer cells. Pralatrexate has already been studied in patients with other types of cancers, such as lymphoma and lung cancer. The results from those studies were promising. Pralatrexate was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a new treatment for a cancer called peripheral T cell lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to find out the good and bad effects that occur when temsirolimus is added to standard chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel.
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.
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.
Pembrolizumab and nivolumab (with or without chemotherapy) are used to treat head and neck cancer. The middle part of the throat (oropharynx) is a common location for head and neck cancer. This cancer is known as oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and is most often caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. This real-world evidence study carried out in the United States (US) will assess patient demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and effectiveness of pembrolizumab and nivolumab (with or without chemotherapy) in patients with HPV positive (HPV+) OPSCC after their cancer spread (metastatic) and/or returned (recurrent). The collected real-world data can be compared with data derived from matched study populations in clinical studies that test new therapies in patients with HPV+ OPSCC. This will allow a more reliable evaluation of the clinical benefits and better-informed design of future clinical studies in this patient population.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of a virus replicon particle (VRP) encapsulated saRNA encoding IL-12 when injected into Squamous Cell Carcinomas in head and neck cancer patients. The main questions being addressed are: The safety and tolerability of intratumoral (IT) injections of VRP-encapsulated saRNA encoding IL-12 (VLPONC-01) The tumor response to IT injections of VLPONC-01 The tumor response due to the combination of IT injections of VLPONC-01 and system IV administration of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) treatment Researchers will compare neoadjuvant pembrolizumab alone to the combination therapy to see if the combination enhances tumor responses.
The purpose of this study is to test a new liquid biopsy assay for detecting residual disease after surgery in patients with HPV-associated head and neck cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether accelerated radiotherapy (involving 6 treatments per week) is better than standard radiotherapy (involving 5 treatments per week) at treating cancer of the head and neck when initiated more than 6 weeks after surgery.
This is a Phase 3 randomized, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab in first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic PD-L1+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of PD-L1 t-haNK (modified immune cells), N-803 (a manufactured protein that stimulates the immune system), and cetuximab (a targeted antibody) in treating advanced head and neck cancer. The names of the therapies involved in this study are: * PD-L1 t-haNK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy infusion) * N-803 (a type of recombinant human superagonist) * Cetuximab (a type of antibody)
The purpose of the study is to determine if it is feasible to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to adjust a portion of radiation therapy for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma . The technique under study will be used to personalize the study treatment based on response, keeping all treatments within standard of care guidelines.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of tislelizumab in combination with pamiparib plus chemoradiotherapy (chemotherapy and radiation) in individuals with recurrent head and neck cancer, which means that the person's cancer has come back after treatment. Participation in the study should last for about 15 months while participants receive tislelizumab and chemoradiotherapy with pamiparib. Afterwards, they will return to the clinic for follow up every 4 months for 2 years, every 6 month for the next 2 years, and then once a year for the rest of their life.
With an amendment of the protocol, this study is only open to adults with head and neck cancer. Previously also adults with liver cancer joined. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or no standard treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining different medicines make tumours shrink. The tested medicines in this study are antibodies that act in different ways against cancer. BI 765063 and ezabenlimab may help the immune system fight cancer (checkpoint inhibitors). Cetuximab blocks growth signals and may prevent the tumour from growing. BI 836880 blocks the formation of new blood vessels that the tumour needs to grow. With amendments of the protocol, all participants receive cetuximab in addition to BI 765063 and ezabenlimab. Ezabenlimab treatment and any other assigned treatment are given no longer than 2 years. Previously, BI 765063 and ezabenlimab were also given alone, or in combination with chemotherapy, or with BI 836880. BI 765063, ezabenlimab, and BI 836880 are given as infusions into veins every 3 weeks. Cetuximab is given as an infusion every 1 or 2 weeks. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. They regularly visit the study site where doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The doctors also monitor the size of the tumour.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunoradiotherapy (NIRT) prior to surgery for the treatment of stage III and IVA HPV- HNSCC.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining the standard chemotherapy for head and neck cancer with the immunotherapy drugs cetuximab and cemiplimab (the study drug) is a safe treatment for head and neck cancer, and whether receiving this combination treatment before surgery may allow participants to forgo the standard radiation treatment after surgery.
An open-label, controlled, multi-site, interventional, 2-arm, Phase II/III trial of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line treatment in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) with combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. This trial has two parts. Part A, is an initial non-randomized Safety Run-In Phase to confirm the safety and tolerability at the selected dose range level of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab. Part B, is a randomized part to generate pivotal efficacy and safety data of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy in the first line setting in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing PD-L1 with CPS ≥1. Patients included in the Safety Run-In Phase of the trial (Part A) will not be randomized to Part B and will continue on-trial treatment (BNT113 plus pembrolizumab) within Part A. For Part B, an optional pre-screening phase is available for all patients where patients' tumor samples may be submitted for central HPV16 DNA and central PD-L1 expression testing prior to screening into the main trial. Patients will be treated with BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab or with pembrolizumab monotherapy for approximately up to 24 months.

Avmacol is an over-the-counter dietary supplement containing broccoli seed and sprout extracts in tablet form, hypothesized to activate protective cellular pathways including detoxication. In this study, participants who have been curatively treatment for head and neck cancer, will take Avmacol twice a day for 3 months.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of neoadjuvant immunoradiotherapy as a safe means of down-staging Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) prior to surgical resection.
Carboplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and nivolumab combination will be administered for three cycles of three weeks duration each. TORS or RT/CRT will be performed after induction chemotherapy (i.e. day 64 of therapy). Patients with low risk and small volume tonsillar disease (T1-T2, non-bulky N2A-N2B with ≤2 non-lower neck lymph nodes measuring ≤5 cm in size) or base of tongue disease (T1-2 with lateralized primary ≤3 cm, non-bulky N2A-N2B with ≤2 non-lower neck lymph nodes measuring ≤5 cm in size) who have ≥50% reduction by RECIST following induction chemotherapy will undergo TORS and selective nodal dissection. De-intensified adjuvant RT will be given for adverse pathologic features. Patients may refuse TORS treatment. Patients with low risk, who do not qualify for TORS (due to volume of disease or poor visualization/access) or refuse TORS, who have ≥50% reduction by RECIST following induction chemotherapy will be given de-intensified treatment with radiation alone to 50 Gy. Before induction chemotherapy, patients will undergo examination under anesthesia and direct laryngoscopy to tattoo and photograph the primary tumor to plan the post-induction resection. Adjuvant nivolumab will be offered to all patients for 6-months post completion of definitive therapy (7 doses given as a flat dose of 480mg, every four weeks).
This study will evaluate the safety of adding nivolumab to several chemotherapy platforms with weekly cisplatin, high-dose cisplatin, cetuximab or radiation therapy alone.
