NCT07554768
The purpose of this randomized Phase II study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant radio-immunotherapy versus immunotherapy alone for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group will receive a combination of radiotherapy and Adebrelimab as neoadjuvant treatment, while the control group will receive Adebrelimab monotherapy. Following the neoadjuvant phase, all eligible patients will undergo surgical resection. The primary objective is to determine if the addition of radiotherapy improves the major pathological response (MPR) rate. Secondary objectives include pathological complete response (pCR) rate, objective response rate (ORR), and event-free survival (EFS).
NCT06959108
The primary objective of this study is to compare the objective response rate (ORR) of patients with LA-HNSCC, treated with induction of EGFR-ADC MRG003 and anti PD-1 Pucotenlimab versus EGFR-ADC MRG003 alone before chemoradiotherapy. People eligible to participate in this study must be between the ages of 18 and 75 and have locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck requiring treatment with chemoradiotherapy (cisplatin combined with radiotherapy). Half of the research participants will receive MRG003 alone as induction before radiochemotherapy and the other half will receive MRG003 combined with pucotenlimab as induction before radiochemotherapy, then pucotenlimab as adjuvant\* after radiochemotherapy.
NCT07371234
Over 60% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage. While standard treatments involve surgery and chemoradiotherapy, prognosis remains poor, with 50-60% experiencing local recurrence within two years. Neoadjuvant therapy can potentially reduce tumor burden, preserve organs, and lower distant metastasis risk. Despite the KEYNOTE-689 trial showing that adjuvant two-cycle pembrolizumab increased major pathological response to 9.8% in stage III-IVB HNSCC, this result remains insufficient. More effective immunotherapy-based combinations are urgently needed to improve long-term survival after neoadjuvant treatment. Preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that low-dose radiotherapy can activate the tumor immune microenvironment and synergize with immunotherapy. Based on this rationale, the present clinical trial will evaluate a neoadjuvant regimen combining LDRT with two cycles of an anti-PD-1 inhibitor in patients with surgically resectable, locally advanced HNSCC.
NCT04733495
This clinical trial examines a group-mediated cognitive behavioral resistance exercise intervention in head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing chemoradiation treatment. Chemoradiation is the established standard of care for locally advanced head and neck cancer patients. However, many head and neck cancer patients experience clinically meaningful declines in muscle mass, physical function, and quality of life during and following treatment. Resistance exercise has been shown to improve muscle mass, body composition, and physical function when integrated with appropriate standard of care nutritional counseling/supplementation. This trial may help researchers determine the important of integrating exercise interventions with routine cancer care.
NCT04541355
This phase II trial investigates how well sodium thiosulfate works in preventing ototoxicity (hearing loss/damage) in patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) who are undergoing a chemoradiation. Sodium thiosulfate is a type of medication used to treat cyanide poisoning and to help lessen the side effects from cisplatin. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. The purpose of this trial is to find out whether it is feasible to give sodium thiosulfate 4 hours after each cisplatin infusion along with standard of care radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer. Giving sodium thiosulfate after cisplatin may help decrease the risk of hearing loss.
NCT03426657
First-line treatment of locally advanced HNSCC with double checkpoint blockade and radiotherapy dependent on intratumoral CD8+ T cell Infiltration.
NCT03875053
This trial studies information from a home sleep apnea machine to evaluate obstructive sleep apnea in patients with stage III-IV head and neck cancer. Sleep apnea (trouble breathing during sleep) can occur in head and neck cancer patients who have swelling in their neck. Wearing a sleep apnea machine overnight may help doctors evaluate obstructive sleep apnea in patients with head and neck cancer.
NCT04949503
This study is a retrospective real-world study. In this study, we plan to collect the clinical data of LASCCHN patients who received chemoradiotherapy combined with or without nimotuzumab .
NCT05861557
This is a phase II study. Twenty-three patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were planned to be enrolled to assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy.
NCT04947241
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the head and neck, accounting for 90% of head and neck malignancies, and 16% to 40% of systemic malignancies. There are 60,000 new cases reported annually worldwide, and the incidence and mortality are increasing year by year, however,the 5-year survival rate under standard treatment is only 50%. 70%\~80% of patients already developed into locally advanced status (stage II-IVa) when they are first diagnosed. The treatment principle is mainly determined by the clinical stage and location of the tumor, various factors affecting the prognosis and the patient's tolerance. Locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has a higher probability of local/regional failure and distant metastasis after treatment. Therefore, in recent years, the use of neoadjuvant therapy (NAC) followed by surgery or radiotherapy has been advocated. Surgical treatment is still one of the preferred treatments for local head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. TPF (Docetaxel + Cisplatin + Fluorouracil) regimen is considered as the standard regimen of induced chemotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (especially in laryngeal cancer), which can significantly reduce the patient's distant metastasis rate and prolong overall survival ( OS). Nevertheless, the therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant therapy on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has reached a bottleneck. In recent years, PD-1 inhibitors have achieved significant effects in the field of tumor therapy and have been approved for the treatment of various tumors including head and neck tumors. And a number of clinical trials have shown that PD-1 inhibitors can significantly prolong the OS of patients. Altogether, the investigators launch an open-label, single-arm, phase Ib clinical trial of PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy in patients with resectable HNSCC to explore the safety and efficacy of the treatment. The study comprises two stages, run-in and case development.
