Filter by: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.
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label intervention study to evaluate the effectiveness of immunonutrition supplementation in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients during cancer treatment.
This is a feasibility study investigating the image quality of a new, high-performance cone beam CT (CBCT) used for on-couch imaging during radiotherapy treatments.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficiency and safety of anti-Programmed death-1 (PD-1) immunotherapy, tislelizumab, combined with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), afatinib as a new neoadjuvant treatment regimen for patients with resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
A Phase 1B/2A study will be conducted to establish safety and dose level of AMXT 1501 dicaprate in combination with IV DFMO, in cancer patients.
To investigate if the combination of fresh frozen sectioning based on cetuximab-800CW can enhance tumor-positive margin detection intra-operatively.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how radiation therapy may affect blood vessels in the neck called the carotid arteries. Investigators want to look at narrowing of the artery or thickening of the walls of the arteries.
Cancer care for head and neck cancers is multidisciplinary and complex and knowledge on the rare ones is limited. There is a wide consensus that to support clinical research on rare cancers, clinical registries should be developed within networks specializing in rare cancers. Our hypothesis is that our head and neck cancer registry established in the framework of the European reference network on rare adults solid cancers will help to: describe the natural history of rare head and neck cancers; evaluate factors that influence prognosis; assess treatment effectiveness; measure indicators of quality of care. The registry is a prospective observational real-world registry. It collects data from already available registries/database and/or directly from expert health care providers (HCP). Information are prospectively collected on patient characteristics; exposure, outcomes and potential confounders (https://euracan.eu/research/starter/rare-head-and-neck-cancer-registry/#codebook). The registry if federated (i.e. data are stored by the data provider). Analyses will be performed using the federated learning approach which split computations into a local part and a central part. The data providers will share sub-computations only. Data quality checks are envisioned to assess whether data value are present, valid and believable. Validity and plausibility checks are embedded in the electronic case report form (CRF) in the form of alerts and errors during the data input. Additional checks are implemented in R and run using the federated learning to ensure a central data quality monitoring. The data analyses will include descriptive statistics showing frequency and patterns of patients' and cancers' variables; analytical analyses investigating the association of patients/disease and/or treatment characteristics and health outcomes. Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT) is the coordinator of the EURACAN registry as well as a data provider. At the INT, and at each HCP involved, responsible investigators ensure that the EURACAN registry will be implemented in compliance with the protocol, following the instructions and procedures described herein. Each HCP is a controller and will identify a data processor. The processing of patients' personal data taking part in the registry is compliant with local privacy legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the EU.
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS )has been shown to offer excellent oncological and functional outcomes for treating cancer at multiple subsites of the head and neck. Post operative haemorrhage (3.1% to 13.1%) is the most common complication of this procedure and can lead to airway compromise. Ligation of individual feeding vessels in the neck can limit risk of severe bleed and is usually done when concomitant neck dissection is carried out with TORS. In salvage TORS, in the absence of any nodal disease of the neck, the neck is explored, nevertheless, for the sole purpose of tying the vessel. Endovascular embolisation is a minimally invasive, safe and effective procedure; known for treating refractory epistaxis and for reducing intra-operative bleeding for benign vascular head and neck tumour. The investigators propose that superselective endovascular embolisation to occlude feeding blood vessels prior to TORS in patients who do not require neck dissection is a feasible, safe and acceptable intervention; and therefore a plausible alternative conventional open neck vessel ligation.
This is a phase 1b study in adult patients diagnosed with resistant or recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) designed to assess the safety and tolerability of IK-175 in combination with nivolumab. Disease response, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and response biomarkers will also be assessed.
