Filter by:This study has been designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of giving seven injections of PepCan or placebo over approximately a 24-month period in subjects with head and neck cancers who achieved remission. PepCan may prove to be beneficial in treating many stages of HPV-related malignancies starting from infection to cancer. Safety, efficacy in terms of reduced cancer recurrence, immunological responses and profiles, and gut microbiome changes will be assessed.
The purpose of this research study is to see if it is possible to collect tissue, saliva and blood samples from patients who are having surgery and send those samples to different labs across MUSC. The researchers in these labs will collect tissue, blood and saliva samples before surgery and during surgery to see if there are any changes in the samples. They will compare the changes in the samples to the clinical outcomes. Patients will also be given surveys to evaluate patient preferences, anxiety/distress, symptom severity, support by HPV status.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody（SCT200）in patients with Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma after failure of platinum-based therapy.
Multicenter randomized controlled phase III study of nivolumab alone or in combination with ipilimumab as immunotherapy vs standard follow-up in surgical resectable HNSCC after adjuvant therapy
The purpose of this research study is to test the combination of the anti-cancer drugs durvalumab, the study drug, and cetuximab as a treatment for metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer. Participants will receive both durvalumab and cetuximab.
A RCT study to compare the efficacy of ONS supplementation with standard dietary advice on nutritional outcome inHNC outpatients undergoing treatment in radiotherapy clinic. IThe study population are all adult HNC outpatients receiving radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy treatments at Radiotherapy Clinic,NCI. Selected patient will be randomized into Control Group and Intervention Group until each group have 20 subjects, where the total of sample will be 40 patients (in consideration of 50% dropouts) and data will be collected at baseline (prior to treatment), week 2, 4, and the final data will be at week 6 or final day of cancer treatment. Study objectives are to determine the efficacy of ONS supplementation in outpatient HNC undergoing treatment in Radiotherapy Clinic, NCI, to determine nutritional outcome (weight loss and BMI, body composition, dietary intake, albumin and hemoglobin level), functional outcome (handgrip strength) and side effect outcome (nutrition impact symptoms) in HNC outpatients given intensive nutrition intervention with outpatients given routine care. This study also want to find association of Intensive nutrition intervention versus routine care in nutrition outcome, functional and side effect outcome in both group. Subjects in intervention group will received standardize ONS supplementation every day during treatments once daily with frequent dietary advice accordingly to the patients condition while control group will received standard routine care which includes frequent dietary advice without supplementation of ONS. Study hypothesis is there is no significant difference in nutritional outcome, functional outcome and side effect outcome between HNC outpatients receiving INI when compared to HNC outpatient receiving routine care undergoing radiotherapy treatment. There is also no association between these two groups in nutritional outcome, functional outcome and side effect outcome.
Informed by a previous trial in general cancer patients, the investigators aim to conduct a multi-centre Phase III explanatory RCT to demonstrate a significant impact of PTSD Coach on levels of anxiety in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, including saliva and hair cortisol as bio-immunological indicators for stress. However, prior to proposing a larger trial requiring 267 patients, the investigators aim to demonstrate feasibility of recruitment and compliance with protocol procedures in a Phase II Pilot of 60 newly diagnosed HNC patients. The EG will receive PTSD Coach + usual care, compared to two control groups (UC and AC). AC will be comprised of a game app (e.g., Tetris, Candy Crush, or Solitaire) and will be structurally equivalent to the EG to control for distraction (attention on something pleasant or a task) and the human factor involved in usage prompting (i.e., same exposure time + contacts with personnel), since either distraction or the human contact with staff may, alone, lower anxiety. From a resource allocation perspective, it is important to know if the positive effects of PTSD Coach are due to the intervention itself or to the use of an app and its usage prompting. The investigators believe that PTSD Coach will be even more effective at reducing anxiety in HNC patients, as it teaches specific CBT techniques and uses psychoeducation already found to be more effective than distraction alone.
This is an open-label, randomized, phase II trial to test the efficacy of Ibrutinib in combination with either Nivolumab or Cetuximab in the treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic head an neck squamous cell carcinoma
This is a phase I/II national, multicentre, multiple cohort, prospective open-label, non-randomised and non-comparative study, to evaluate the safety and activity of metronomic oral vinorelbine associated with durvalumab + tremelimumab combination immunotherapy for the treatment of advanced solid tumours.
The purpose of this single institution, pilot study is to explore the out of pocket (OOP)costs and financial toxicity of cancer care for patients during definitive treatment of head and neck cancer with radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy and surgical resection. The study team will assess how the financial burden of cancer care impacts quality of life as well as treatment-related decision-making from a patient perspective.
