Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a navigation-based multilevel intervention (ENDURE) with treatment as usual at decreasing delays starting guideline-adherent postoperative radiation therapy among patients with head and neck cancer. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Does ENDURE decrease delays starting PORT relative to treatment as usual? - Does ENDURE decrease racial disparities in delays starting PORT relative to treatment as usual - What are the mechanisms through which ENDURE reduces treatment delays?
The majority of head and neck cancer patients do not respond to immunotherapies, and clinical responses are often not durable. However, targeting tumors with stereotactic radiation in combination with immunotherapy while sparing draining lymphatics enhances anticancer immunity, resulting in dramatic response in HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) virus related cancers of the throat. This trial will leverage targeted tumor radiation and immunotherapy in advance of standard surgical therapy to improve the response of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) throat cancer to radiation and immunotherapy.
This is a phase 1b, multicenter, non-randomized prospective study involving an innovation phase (IDEAL-1) followed by a prospective development phase (IDEAL-2A) designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of oral/oropharyngeal reconstruction with the external pudendal free flap in two groups of patients. A maximum of 40 patients (20 patients per group) will be included in this IDEAL-1/2A phase study. Stage IDEAL-1: Innovation phase. The main objective is to evaluate the feasibility in terms of limiting surgical complications of a STEPA flap reconstruction in two groups of patients (Cohort: Male, Female). Stage IDEAL-2A: Prospective development phase. The main objective is to describe the complication profile of the surgical procedure in these two patient populations. Each patient will be followed during 12 months after the end of complete treatment (surgery ± adjuvant treatment). A complementary study (observational study) of 250 patients will also be conducted to evaluate the acceptability of the technique (reconstruction by external pudendal flap) by the patients and to describe the factors associated with this acceptability.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new drug plus standard treatment compared with standard treatment alone in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is the new drug plus standard treatment safe and tolerable - is the new drug plus standard treatment more effective than standard treatment
The aim of the study was to examine the detection rate and tumor size evaluation in patients with suspected oropharynx cancer using a new technique with transoral ultrasound of the oropharynx. The new technique was compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The study investigators included patients referred to a tertiary head & neck cancer center in Copenhagen, Denmark, with suspicion of oropharynx cancer. Patients supplied written informed consent and were included and ultrasound scanned with local anesthesia in the outpatient clinic. Blinded assessment of MRI's was performed for tumor detection and compared to ultrasound with the reference standard being histopathology biopsy results.
The purpose of the study is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of transoral ultrasound, transcervical ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography-Computerized Tomography (PET-CT) in terms of detecting primary oropharynx tumors.
This is a phase II clinical trial to assess the clinical activity of immunotherapy with E7 TCR-T cells for metastatic HPV-associated cancers. HPV-associated cancers in include cervical, throat, penile, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and other cancers. Participants will receive a conditioning regimen, E7 TCR-T cells, and aldesleukin. Clinical response to treatment will be determined.
The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of administration of a single dose of E7 TCR-T cells as induction therapy prior to definitive treatment (chemoradiation or surgery) of locoregionally advanced HPV-associated cancers. The intent of E7 TCR-T cell treatment is to shrink or eliminate tumors and thereby facilitate definitive therapy and increase overall survival. This study seeks to determine 1) if E7 TCR-T cell can be administered without undue delay in definitive treatment, 2) the tumor response rate to E7 TCR-T cell treatment, 3) and the disease-free survival rate at 2 and 5 years. Participants will undergo an apheresis procedure to obtain T cells that will be genetically engineered to generate E7 TCR-T cells. They will receive a conditioning regimen, a single infusion of their own E7 TCR-T cells, and adjuvant aldesleukin. Participants will follow up to assess safety and determine tumor response and will return to their primary oncology team for definitive therapy.
To learn if SAR444245 given in combination with cemiplimab can help to kill cancer cells in patients with HPV-related oropharynx cancer who are scheduled to have surgery to remove the disease
This is a trial studying patients with human papilloma virus (HPV) positive oropharyngeal cancer with tumors that can be removed via transoral surgery. Following surgery, patients will be classified as either low, intermediate, or high risk based on the characteristics of the tumors. Low risk patients (Arm S) will receive no further treatment after surgery. Intermediate risk patients (Arm RT) will be treated with Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) after surgery. High risk patients (Arm CRT) will receive a combination of IMRT and chemotherapy after surgery. Patients will be followed for up to five years after the completion of treatment.
