Study of Intratumoral (IT) MK-1454 in Combination With Intravenous (IV) Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Compared to IV Pembrolizumab Alone as the First Line Treatment of Metastatic or Unresectable Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) (MK-1454-002)

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of intratumoral (IT) MK-1454 in PLUS pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to pembrolizumab alone as a first line treatment of adults with metastatic or unresectable, recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The primary study hypotheses are that IT …

Camrelizumab Combined With Apatinib Mesylate for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This is a prospective, open-labelled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the induction treatment of patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who were judged surgically unresectable or appropriate for non-surgical definitive therapy. The objective response rate (ORR) and …

Imaging of Tumour Microenvironment in Patients With Oropharyngeal Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using RGD PET/CT Imaging

Known risk factors inducing squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck are tabacco and alcohol intake. However, the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV) related oropharyngeal carcinomas is increasing. It is known that HPV+ and HPV- tumors have a different reaction to (chemo)radiotherapy. The exact mechanisms underlying these differences is …

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Elderly Patients With Head & Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this research study is to investigate a shorter radiation treatment schedule for head and neck cancers in patients 70 years of age and older. Standard radiation treatment for head and neck patients normally requires that the patient travel to the hospital daily for 6-7 weeks to receive …

Phase II Study for Combination of Camrelizumab and SBRT in the First-line Treatment for R/M HNSCC

This study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, phase II clinical study for patients with recurrent or metastatics quamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

HYPORT: A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Post-operative Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer

There is a strong radiobiological and economic rationale for hypofractionated radiation therapy in head and neck cancer. Phase 1 of the trial aims to assess the acute toxicity and tolerability of hypofractionated radiation therapy in the post-operative setting, and to determine the dose/fractionation for Phase 2. Phase 2 aims to …

Activity and Safety of Peptide-based Immunotherapy in Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck.

The purpose of this project is to realize a randomized open-label study (EudraCT number: 2020-000120-19) to evaluate the safety and the anti-tumor activity of peptide(s)-based immunotherapy in an umbrella window pre-operative opportunity phase II study in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
