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.
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.
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.
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.
