NCT ID: NCT06016699 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Immunological Function After Radiation With Either Proton or Photon Therapy

PRO-IMMUNO
Start date: September 23, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This is a pilot prospective observational cohort study, comprising patients with head and neck cancer (HNSCC) treated with standard of care definitive (chemo)radiation either with photons or protons. Patients will be assigned for protons or photons based on the guidelines of the National Indication Protocol for Proton therapy of the Netherlands. Immunological function will be evaluated by the collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Blood samples will be collected at baseline, during (chemo)radiation (end of week 3 and/or before week 4 of treatment) and after completion of (chemo)radiation (week 9, week 12, week 20, week 34 and week 60, respectively 1 week, 5 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after completion of (chemo)radiation). To quantify immunological function, PBMCs collected during (chemo)radiation and after (chemo)radiation will be compared with that before (chemo)radiation (week 0), using IFN-γ-ELISPOT to screen for the presence of antigen-specific T-cell responses. Furthermore, flow cytometry panels will be used to determine global changes in immune cell proficiency. Histological evaluation will take place at baseline and week 3 to examine changes in immune infiltration within tumour tissue during proton versus photon (chemo)radiation. This biopsy part of the study is optional for the patient. Archival tissue from the biopsy that was taken at diagnosis will be used for the baseline assessments. Biopsy at week 3 week will be taken for all patients who agree to participate in this optional part of the study.

Special Care Patterns for Elderly HNSCC Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

SENIOR
Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The number of elderly head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is increasing; however, the evidence regarding the ideal treatment for this often vulnerable and frail patient cohort is limited. Although the benefit of concomitant chemotherapy has been reported to decrease in elderly HNSCC patients based on the MACH-NC meta-analysis, it remains unknown whether state-of-the art radiotherapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), modern supportive treatments and alternative chemotherapy fractionation (e.g., cisplatin weekly) may have altered this observation. The objective of this retrospective multinational multicenter study is to determine the oncological outcomes of elderly patients (≥65 years) with locally advanced HNSCCs undergoing definitive (chemo-)radiation and to investigate the influence of concomitant chemotherapy on overall survival and progression-free survival after adjusting for potential confounder variables such as age, performance status and comorbidity burden.

NCT ID: NCT04995120 Recruiting - Laryngeal Cancer Clinical Trials

Induction Chemotherapy and Toripalimab for Larynx Preservation in Resectable Laryngeal/Hypopharyngeal Carcinoma

INSIGHT
Start date: April 7, 2021
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to define whether combination of induction chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor (Toripalimab) improve the rate of larynx preservation, for patients with resectable laryngeal/hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

NCT ID: NCT04892875 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

A Study of Concurrent Chemoradiation in Combination With or Without PD1 Inhibitor AB122 Adenosine 2a Receptor / Adenosine 2b Receptor Inhibitor AB928 Therapies in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancers

PANTHEoN
Start date: December 31, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of chemotherapy and radiation in combination with the investigational study drugs zimberelimab (AB122) and etrumadenant (AB928) in subjects with a locally advances head or neck cancer. The study will also ask how the study drugs change the following: - The microbiome that lives in the mouth and on the skin - Immune cells as they respond to a skin wound - Scarring (fibrosis) caused by radiation After completing a screening phase, subjects will be assigned to one of three cohorts: - Cohort 1: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation and zimberelimab followed by zimberelimab only. - Cohort 2: Subjects who will receive cisplatin, radiation, zimberelimab and etrumadenant followed by zimberelimab and etrumadent. - Cohort 3: Subjects who will receive cisplatin and radiation followed by an observation period. All three cohorts will be followed for a 24 months following the conclusion of the chemoradiation.

NCT ID: NCT03942380 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Cell-free Tumor DNA in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Start date: February 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study investigates if head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can be tracked with cell-free tumor DNA, RNA or HPV-DNA, in blood samples from patients referred with suspicion of cancer, and if it can be used in detecting recurrence in patients already diagnosed and treated for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

NCT ID: NCT03096808 Completed - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Adaptive Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer

Start date: March 15, 2017
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy (ART) in head and neck cancer patients are comparable to historical controls in head and neck patients undergoing standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) without ART.

NCT ID: NCT03082534 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Pembrolizumab Combined With Cetuximab for Treatment of Recurrent/Metastatic Head & Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Start date: March 28, 2017
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, multi-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with pembrolizumab and cetuximab for patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC.

A Novel Modified Tracheo-Esophageal Voice Prosthesis for Total Laryngectomy Patients

TEP
Start date: April 18, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is being conducted at Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd to evaluate the role of a novel Tracheo-Esophageal voice Prosthesis for total laryngectomy +/- partial pharyngectomy patients. 30 patients will be enrolled as an inpatient or outpatient. Patients who are planned to undergo total laryngectomy +/- pharyngectomy surgery and trachea-esophageal puncture procedure.(for primary TEP insertion) or patients who have undergone total laryngectomy > 6weeks prior and are suitable candidates for secondary TEP insertion would be recruited to the study. Insertion of the TEP will be done in primary setting or secondary setting. Patients, who are undergoing primary TEP insertion, will be evaluated for speech/ voice at an interval of 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months after the procedure. Patients who are undergoing secondary TEP insertion to be evaluated on the same day of the procedure along with evaluation at an interval of 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months. All the patients will be evaluated clinically for a fluid leak (through and around the TEP) on the same days of voice analysis by giving test feeds under supervision.

NCT ID: NCT02586207 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Pembrolizumab in Combination With CRT for LA-SCCHN

Start date: November 2015
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This is a single-arm, multi-site, open-label trial of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) used in combination with standard, cisplatin-based, definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with stage III-IVB squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Approximately 39 patients with Stage III-IVB SCCHN will be enrolled to evaluate both the safety and efficacy of this novel combination. Subjects will not be randomized and will all receive the study treatment. Treatment will consist of a loading dose of pembrolizumab 200 mg IV given 7 days prior to initiation of CRT (day-7). CRT with cisplatin 40 mg/m2 IV weekly and head and neck radiation at 70 Gy fractionated at 2 Gy once daily over 35 days, will begin on day 1. CRT will end on approximately day 46-50. Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV will continue following CRT in an adjuvant fashion starting on day 57 for an additional 5 doses, as tolerated, through day 141. Subjects will be evaluated for response following treatment.
