Filter by:This study aims to determine the feasibility of non-invasive quantitative PD-L1 measurement using [a novel PD-L1 positron emission tomography (PET) tracer and perform immunohistochemistry based measurement of PD-L1 levels within resected lesions in head and neck cancer and brain metastases.
A Phase 2 Single-arm Study of ASP-1929 Photoimmunotherapy Combined With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Locoregional Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck, With or Without Metastases, Not Amenable to Curative Local Treatment
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most common cancer. Most cases are diagnosed in locally advanced stages, with treatment involving multimodal approach with combinations of radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy. The aggressive nature of HNSCCs and treatment modalities are associated with important acute and late toxicities that often promote temporary or definitive treatment interruption and may compromised the capability to tolerate subsequent treatments. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyze the acute and long-term impact of cancer treatment on quality of life, physical and cognitive function of HNSCC patients diagnosed with a locally advanced disease.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 2/3 study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bempegaldesleukin (BEMPEG; NKTR-214) combined with pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC with positive PD-L1 expression (CPS ≥ 1).
Adult patients undergoing a radial forearm free flap or ulnar forearm free flap will be randomized to the use of the Restrata graft in combination with split-thickness skin graft for reconstruction. Photos will document whether the Restata graft aids in the healing.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.
This is a Phase 2 study of enoblituzumab combined with either retifanlimab or tebotelimab administered as first-line treatment to patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of GSK3359609 to pembrolizumab in combination with 5FU-platinum based chemotherapy improves the efficacy of the pembrolizumab combination with 5FU-platinum based chemotherapy in participants with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This randomized, double-blinded, Phase II/III study will compare the combination of GSK3359609 with pembrolizumab and 5FU-platinum chemotherapy to placebo in combination with pembrolizumab and 5FU-platinum chemotherapy in participants with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx.
It can be difficult for head and neck cancer patients and their families to fully understand the impact that cancer procedures and treatments can have on the cancer patients life. Procedures used to treat head and neck cancer may result in significant changes to the patients' physical appearance and/or functional abilities (talking, eating, and breathing). The lack of understanding as it relates to the effects of cancer treatments can have a significant impact on the patients post-operative success. In an effort to help educate head and neck cancer patients and their families during this difficult time, the UIC department of Otolaryngology-HNS has created an informational website. The website is designed to educate cancer patients and their families regarding various cancer treatments and therapies.
Open-label, single-center phase I study to evaluate first signs of efficacy and to confirm the safety and tolerability of a decitabine safe-dose treatment in two strata of patients with HPV induced anogenital and head and neck cancers (Stratum 1: patients with high rist for disease recurrence; Stratum 2: patients with failure of standard therapy). The study is expected to enroll 18 patients overall (9 patients in each stratum). The duration of the trial for each patient is expected to be 6 months (two 28 day cycles of study treatment plus four months of additional follow-up). The overall duration of the trial is expected to be approximately 42 months.
