Salivary gland carcinoma

This early-phase trial is testing a combination of two drugs—trastuzumab deruxtecan (a targeted chemotherapy) and ceralasertib (a drug that may block cancer cell repair)—in people with advanced solid tumors that have a HER2 mutation. The study has two parts: first, finding the sa…

This study tests whether a combination of two hormone-blocking drugs (apalutamide and a GnRH agonist) can shrink or slow the growth of advanced salivary gland cancer that has a specific protein called the androgen receptor. About 31 adults with locally advanced or spread cancer t…

This phase 3 trial tested whether adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. About 403 adults took part. The main goal was to see if the combination improved overall survival compared to chemotherapy alone.

This phase I trial is testing whether a combination of three treatments — an experimental drug called elimusertib, precise radiation therapy, and the immunotherapy pembrolizumab — can shrink or stabilize recurrent head and neck cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The study …

This phase 2 trial is testing whether an experimental drug called 9-ING-41, when combined with the chemotherapy drug carboplatin, can help people with advanced or metastatic salivary gland cancer. The study aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth. Pa…

This phase 2 trial is testing two hormone-blocking drugs—darolutamide and leuprolide acetate—in 21 patients with advanced salivary gland cancer that has spread or returned. The cancer must have a protein called androgen receptor. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink t…

This study is testing whether a precise form of radiation called proton therapy can control head and neck cancer after surgery as well as standard X-ray radiation, but with fewer side effects. About 174 adults with newly diagnosed head and neck cancer will receive either proton t…

This study tests a combination of hormone therapy (goserelin) and an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) in 20 people with advanced salivary gland cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if the treatment shrinks tumors or slows the disease. Partic…

This study tests a combination of two drugs—pemetrexed (chemotherapy) and pembrolizumab (immunotherapy)—in people with salivary gland cancer that has returned or spread. The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors or slow the disease. About 45 adults with advanced salivary…

This study tests whether giving targeted drugs based on the genetic makeup of a person's advanced salivary gland cancer can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. About 88 adults with cancer that has spread or come back are enrolled. Researchers are checking how well these trea…

This phase 2 trial tests the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with 15 types of advanced solid tumors that have worsened after standard treatments. About 1,600 participants receive the drug to see if their tumors shrink or stop growing. The study also looks fo…

This phase 1 trial is testing a new imaging tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46 to see where it collects in normal and cancerous tissues. About 30 people with various solid tumors or blood cancers will receive the tracer and then undergo a PET/CT scan. The goal is to understand how the tr…
