5-Fluorouracil Response and Optimization STudy (The FROST Trial)

This randomized phase II trial will characterize the efficacy, adverse event (AE) profile, and safety of two regimens of 5-FU given as 2L+ treatment to patients with RM-HNSCC. Eligible patients for this trial will have previously received platinum and PD-1 inhibitor therapy. The experimental regimen (Arm 1) will comprise the two days every two weeks (2D-Q2W) regimen of 5-FU. The standard regimen (Arm 2) will consist of the four days every three weeks (4D-Q3W) regimen of 5-FU. The primary hypotheses is that each regimen of 5-FU will result in an ORR of 10% of greater assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria. The study will also describe treatment-related AEs assessed by CTCAE v5.0, dose interruptions, discontinuations, and modifications in each regimen.

TBio-4101 and Pembro wi/ or w/o Chemo in Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC

Phase 1b open-label study to evaluate the safety of selected TIL (TBio-4101) delivered after lymphodepleting chemotherapy and followed by intravenous (IV) bolus aldesleukin (IL-2) and pembrolizumab for patients with advanced HNSCC who have initially progressed on pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab/platinum chemotherapy.

First Line Weekly Chemo/Immunotherapy for Metastatic Head/Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients

The purpose of this research is to see what effects the treatment regimen chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus immunotherapy (pembrolizumab), has on patients who have been diagnosed with head/neck squamous cell carcinoma and are unable to take the drug 5-fluorouracil

Dose Finding Study of Zanzalintinib With Pembrolizumab and Cetuximab in Head and Neck SCC

This Phase I clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and optimal dosing of Zanzalintinib in combination with Pembrolizumab and Cetuximab in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M HNSCC). The study aims to establish the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) while also exploring efficacy outcomes, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Immunotherapy and SBRT for Metastatic Head and Neck Carcinomas

Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway had previously been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to metastatic lesions causes localized cancer cell killing and the release of cancer cell debris, which could stimulate the immune system in the presence of immunotherapy. The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability and efficacy of combining Durvalumab (MEDI4736), Tremelimumab and SBRT in controlling cancer progression. SBRT will be administered to patients while they are receiving Durvalumab and Tremelimumab.

Combination of Spartalizumab, mDCF and Radiotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Squamous Cell Anal Carcinoma

This study evaluates the feasibility of the combination of radiotherapy, chemotherapies (docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil) and spartalizumab (anti-PD-1 therapy) in patients with metastatic squamous cell anal carcinoma
