Methotrexate, Erlotinib, and Celecoxib for the Treatment of Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer in a Rural Midwest United States Population

This phase II trial gathers information on the feasibility, safety, and effect of giving methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib in treating head and neck cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) among rural Midwest patients. Methotrexate is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It is also a type of antifolate. Methotrexate stops cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells. Erlotinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a protein called EGFR that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving the combination of methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib may be feasible, safe, and effective in treating rural Midwest patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer.

Lymphocyte-Sparing And Radio-Immunotherapy in Head and Neck Carcinoma

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ATRA (Vesanoid) and the effect of tailored radiotherapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx, larynx or hypopharynx.

A Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan in Combination With Cetuximab in People With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer (HNSCC)

The purpose of this study to find out whether sacituzumab govitecan in combination with cetuximab is an effective and safe treatment approach for people with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC).

The ENHANCE Study: Exercise and Nutrition in Head And Neck CancEr Survivors

The purpose of the study is to design a physical activity and dietary intervention for head and neck cancer patients.

Special Care Patterns for Elderly HNSCC Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

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.

SBRT Followed by Chemoimmunotherapy of Toripalimab Plus Docetaxel and Cisplatin for Larynx Preservation in Patients with Locally Regionally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx and Hypopharynx

This trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficiency of SBRT followed by Chemoimmunotherapy of Toripalimab Plus Docetaxel and Cisplatin for Patients with Locally Regionally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx and Hypopharynx

Tislelizumab and Induction Chemotherapy for Larynx Preservation in Resectable Advanced Laryngeal/Hypopharyngeal Cancer

This study is a prospective, single-arm, single-center, phase II study. The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the therapeutic value of the treatment model of "tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy/adaptive surgery" on larynx Preservation of locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer and laryngeal cancer.
