All recruiting trials (9)

• Intraoperative Methadone for Postoperative Pain in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

  This trial tests whether giving methadone during surgery, in addition to standard fentanyl, helps control pain after head and neck cancer surgery more effectively than fentanyl alone.

  Recruiting Phase 4 OHSU Knight Cancer Institute · Portland, Oregon · NCT07857655

• Mild heat therapy added to standard treatment for locally advanced head and neck cancer

  This early-stage trial tests whether mild hyperthermia can be safely added to standard radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancer.

  Recruiting Phase 1 Erasmus Medical Center · Rotterdam, South Holland · NCT07690618

• Transoral and neck ultrasound to find suspected oropharyngeal (throat) cancers

  This study will test whether adding transoral and neck ultrasound to the usual diagnostic tests helps doctors find oropharyngeal (throat) cancers more accurately in adults referred for suspicion of oropharyngeal cancer.

  Recruiting Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet · Aarhus and 3 other locations · NCT07548268

• Selective dose reduction of neck radiation in HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer

  This trial tests whether lowering radiation doses to certain neck lymph nodes or gross disease areas is safe and can reduce side effects for adults with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.

  Recruiting at 4 sites Phase 2 University of Maryland, Baltimore · Baltimore, Maryland and 3 other locations · NCT07418034

• Lower radiation therapy with chemotherapy for HPV-positive throat cancer

  This study is testing if giving lower doses of radiation along with chemotherapy can effectively treat patients with HPV-positive throat cancer just as well as the usual higher doses of radiation.

  Recruiting at 7 sites Phase 2 Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Basking Ridge, New Jersey and 6 other locations · NCT06984861

• Understanding oropharyngeal carcinoma and its connection to HPV

  This study is trying to learn more about oropharyngeal cancer and its link to HPV by collecting blood samples from patients to see how the disease changes over time.

  Recruiting Stanford University · Palo Alto, California · NCT05880797

• Lower radiation therapy combined with standard chemotherapy for HPV-positive throat cancer

  This study is testing whether using less radiation therapy along with standard chemotherapy can help people with HPV-positive throat cancer feel better while causing fewer side effects.

  Recruiting at 7 sites Phase 2 Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Basking Ridge, New Jersey and 6 other locations · NCT05491512

• High-dose steroid therapy for late lower cranial neuropathy in oropharyngeal cancer survivors

  This study tests whether high-dose prednisone or methylprednisolone can improve symptoms of late radiation-related lower cranial nerve problems in adults who survived oropharyngeal cancer.

  Recruiting Phase 1/2 M.D. Anderson Cancer Center · Houston, Texas · NCT04151082

• Reducing treatment intensity for HPV-positive throat cancer

  This study is testing whether giving less intense treatment for HPV-positive throat cancer can still help patients do well and feel better during and after their care.

  Recruiting Phase 2 NYU Langone Health · New York, New York · NCT03215719
