Oral Cavity Cancer Clinical Trials

Induction chemotherapy is regarded as an effective way to reduce or downgrade the locally advanced or aggressive cancers, and to improve the chance of eradication of the locoregional lesions by radical surgery and/or radiotherapy. However, there are still debates on the clinical value of induction chemotherapy for patients with advanced ...

To compare the diagnostic value of uPAR-PET/CT for prognostication compared to the current imaging options (CT, MRI and ultrasound) by observer-blinded readings. The reference that will be used as "gold standard" is the pathological examination of the surgically removed tissues. The new imaging modality (uPAR-PET/CT) will be used in two ...

OCC patients who are scheduled for surgery will be given Nivolumab prior to surgery to see if there are any changes in surgical outcomes.

Primary Objectives: To determine the clinical efficacy of pembrolizumab combined with cetuximab for patients with R/M HNSCC. Cohort 1 (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-nave, cetuximab-nave): clinical efficacy defined as overall response rate. Cohort 2 (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-refractory, cetuximab-nave): clinical efficacy defined as overall response rate. Cohort 3 (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-refractory, cetuximab-refractory): clinical efficacy defined as ...

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the efficacy of ficlatuzumab, with or without concurrent cetuximab, in patients with cetuximab-resistant, recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as measured by progression-free survival (PFS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe toxicity and patient-reported quality of life. II. To evaluate response rate and overall ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the overall response rate (ORR) of patients with recurrent/metastatic (RM) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) who receive the combination of pembrolizumab and cabozantinib. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients treated with the combination of pembrolizumab and cabozantinib. To ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Primary Objective: Estimate the pathologic complete response rate (pCRR) after induction chemotherapy with carboplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and durvalumab in previously untreated stage III and IV SCCHN amenable to surgical resection Secondary Objectives: Report the clinical complete response rate (cCRR) and clinical response rate (cRR) following induction chemotherapy Estimate the ...

Baseline Visit: If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study and agree, you will have a baseline visit. The following tests and procedures will be performed: You will have a hearing test. You will have a dental exam. During this exam, your saliva flow will ...
