Filter by:Despite accumulating evidence of the benefit of aspirin in cancer, its effect on improving cancer survival is still debated since the mechanism by which it impacts cancer survival is not completely understood and the published data are discordant. There have been 4 randomized controlled trials (RCT) showing mixed results from no effect to improved survival. Several retrospective and observational studies have reported a survival advantage of adding aspirin to the treatment for various cancers. A meta-analysis of 118 studies, 63 of them specifically reporting on cancer mortality and the rest on all-cause mortality, found a 21% reduction in cancer deaths and about 20% reduction in all-cause mortality (pooled hazard ratio (HR): 0.79; 95% confidence intervals: 0.73, 0.84). However, the evidence is still lacking and there is need to do more RCT
This study aims to determine whether dysbiosis actively contributes to HNSCC and if so, the underlying molecular mechanisms.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of tozuleristide in imaging oral cavity squamous cell cancer and high-grade oral cavity dysplasia during surgery. Tozuleristide is an imaging agent that specifically binds to tumor cells. When exposed to near-infrared light, tozuleristide causes tumor cells to fluoresce (light up), so that surgeons may better distinguish tumor cells from healthy cells during surgery.
This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety and best dose of ipatasertib in combination with the usual treatment approach using chemotherapy together with radiation therapy ("chemo-radiation") in patients with head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them. Cisplatin which is a chemotherapy used in this trial is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving ipatasertib in combination with chemo-radiation may be better than chemo-radiation alone in treating patients with advanced head and neck cancer.
This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine how quickly patients can be divided into groups based on biomarkers in their tumors. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in the blood, other body fluids, or in tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process or a sign of a condition or disease. A biomarker may be used to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition. The two biomarkers that this trial is studying are "tumor mutational burden" and "tumor inflammation signature." Another purpose of this trial is to help doctors learn if cabozantinib and nivolumab shrink or stabilize the cancer, and whether patients respond differently to the combination depending on the status of the biomarkers.
FAPI is a fibroblast activation protein inhibitor and 68Ga-FAPI-04 is a potential new imaging agent for imaging of carcinoma. 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT is helpful to clarify the benign, malignant and invasive range of the oral carcinoma, locate and qualitatively diagnose the tumor, and make early diagnosis and restaging of recurrent tumor.
This phase II trial studies the effect of cemiplimab in combination with low-dose paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that has come back (recurrent) or spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab , may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, like paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving cemiplimab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may work better in treating recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Project's goal is evaluate an online tool the research team created called Empowered Survivor (ES) against a free online self-management intervention developed for cancer survivors by the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society called Springboard Beyond Cancer.
This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of peposertib when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) who cannot take cisplatin. Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This trial aims to see whether adding peposertib to radiation therapy is safe and works well in treating patients with head and neck cancer.
This phase II/III trial studies how well sentinel lymph node biopsy works and compares sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery to standard neck dissection as part of the treatment for early-stage oral cavity cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery is a procedure that removes a smaller number of lymph nodes from your neck because it uses an imaging agent to see which lymph nodes are most likely to have cancer. Standard neck dissection, such as elective neck dissection, removes many of the lymph nodes in your neck. Using sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery may work better in treating patients with early-stage oral cavity cancer compared to standard elective neck dissection.
