Filter by:This is a two-staged clinical trial to investigate the feasibility of intraoperative Fluorescence Imaging (FLI) to adequately assess tumor margins in patients with oral cancer using cRGD-ZW800-1.
Reduce the incidence of post-operative infections after ENT surgery and flap reconstruction by performing preoperative oral and dental care
This study will examine the combination of pembrolizumab and tadalafil for safety and efficacy in advanced head and neck cancer.
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.
The presence of lymph node metastasis is an important factor in determining the appropriate treatment plan in patients with OSCC. However, detection of lymph node metastases by means of current imaging modalities is limited. 20-30% of patients with a clinically negative neck (cN0) harbour lymph node metastasis that were not detected during clinical diagnostic workup, which are referred to as occult lymph node metastasis. Therefore, patients with a risk of lymph node metastasis higher than 20% undergo a sentinel node procedure (SNP) or elective neck dissection (END), which means that a substantial part of patients is overtreated. There is need for an additional non-invasive diagnostic tool that can identify lymph node metastasis and thereby support the decision making for treatment of the neck. The main objective of this study is to evaluate if EGFR-positive cervical lymph node metastasis can be detected non-invasively with multispectral optoacoustic imaging using cetuximab-800CW as contrast agent in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Control of cell death is frequently disrupted in cancer resulting in overgrowth of tumour cells. Caspase-8 is a key enzyme involved in controlling cell death. This study examines the importance of caspase-8 in oral cancer.
Background: Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers that start in the mouth, nose, throat, larynx and sinuses. The usual treatment is surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination of those. Approximately 50% of HPV-negative head and neck cancer patients that have been treated with any of these modalities will have a recurrence. For these patients, current treatment options include surgery and re-irradiation with chemotherapy, which can reduce symptoms and may stop the tumor from growing but in the majority of cases, only for a few months. In this trial, researchers want to see if they can cure or significantly lower the chance of head and neck cancer growing back or spreading by adding the new agent birinapant to re-irradiation. Objective: To test the safety of birinapant and re-irradiation at different doses in patients with head and neck cancer. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older with head and neck cancer who are candidates for re-irradiation. Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical record. Participants will have exams and procedures that are part of their usual care. Participants will also have a test of heart activity before treatment. Participants will have urine pregnancy tests, if female. Participants will have blood and tumor samples taken 2 times and stored for research. The study lasts 6 weeks. Participants will get radiation for 5 days a week (Monday Friday) for all 6 weeks. Participant will get the study drug on 4 Tuesdays. They will get it in an arm vein over 30 minutes each time. About 4 weeks after the study ends, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will have a physical exam, health questions, and blood tests. Participants may have scans 4 times over the next 2 years. Participants will get an email or phone call every 6 months. Sponsoring Institute: National Cancer Institute
