The purpose of this study is to evaluate investigational treatments (study drug) in people with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-positive, HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma without prior treatment. The goal is to determine the optimal dose level, safety, and tolerability for the study drug BCA101. This is a phase 2 study; BCA101 is not FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment for this study may be up to 5 years. The procedures include taking study drug intravenously, blood and urine samples, and CT scans. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, mouth sore, nose bleed, headache, and skin rash. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.

This study is designed to learn more about the effects of Petosemtamab, an investigational drug not FDA approved, compared to standard of care treatment for people with head and neck cancer that has been previously treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receiving petosemtamab or one of the three standard of care choices. In the follow up period the side effects after completion of petosemtamab administration or assigned standard of care treatment will be evaluated. Also, approximately every 12 weeks after study treatment stopped, either petosemtamab or assigned standard of care, participants will receive a phone call for long term follow-up for up to 1.5 years. Participation in this study may last up to two years. The participants will complete questionnaires to evaluate the differences in the quality of life for participants that received petosemtamab versus standard of care treatment. Some serious risk related to this study are infusion related reactions, rash and diarrhea. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well Petosemtamab works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.

This phase III study evaluates whether a new drug, dostarlimab, can delay or reduce the risk of cancer returning when administered for a year, shortly after receiving a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CRT). This study will enroll adults diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are treated with CRT. This study is divided into three parts: the screening period begins shortly after CRT and lasting 4-6 weeks where tests will be conducted to determine eligibility, followed by a 12-month treatment period where participants will receive either dostarlimab or an inactive substance (salt solution) with no effect on your body (placebo), and a follow up period when they will continue to be assessed to see if their cancer has returned or gotten worse. Participants may be on the study for approximately up to 5 years in total. The main risks are anaemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Alternatives to this treatment is standard of care CRT because for this type of head and neck cancer, at the present time, there are no other approved therapies administered shortly after CRT that may prevent or delay the return of the cancer. The study benefit is dostarlimab may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer.

This study is designed to learn more about how nivolumab and ipilimumab, with or without cabozantinib effects the growth and spreading of head and neck cancer. If decided to take part in this study, participants will go through a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period. During the screening period following signing of consent form participants will be evaluated for screening criteria and determined if they qualify for the study. During treatment period participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab for up to 2 years, or the two immunotherapy drugs with an additional targeted drug, cabozantinib, for up to 2 years unless your cancer gets worse or the side effects of the treatment become too severe. In the follow up period the side effects will be observed by the study team every 3 to 4 months for 2 years after treatment. The most common risks and discomforts expected in this study are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste or voice, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, and high blood pressure which may cause blurred vision. There may not a benefit from joining the study. The head and neck cancer may improve while on this study but it may not, and it may even get worse. It will also help inform how well this combination treatment works at curing this type of cancer. The study results may be used to help others in the future.

This phase III study is for participants with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that is negative for a type of virus called human papilloma virus (HPV). If decided to participate in this study, participants will be receive either ficlatuzumab in combination with cetuximab, or placebo in combination with cetuximab. There are 3 Arms participants will be randomly assigned to: Arm 1 will receive ficlatuzumab (10mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion) and cetuximab (by IV infusion), Arm 2 will be given ficlatuzumab (20mg/kg by IV infusion) and cetuximab, and Arm 3 will receive placebo and cetuximab. The effectiveness of the 2 different ficlatuzumab groups (Arm 1 and Arm 2) will be compared at the first on-study scan, and the more successful Arm will began enroll more participants. This study is estimated to last approximately 5 years. Study drugs will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or until the Sponsor terminates the study (whichever comes first). The main risk associate with the trial are swelling of your lower legs or arms, fatigue, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bone pain, decreased appetite, anemia, high level of liver enzymes in your blood, dizziness, infusion reactions, cardiopulmonary arrest, pulmonary (lung) toxicity, skin reactions, inflammation of the mouth, low blood counts, liver problems, infection, headache, allergic reactions, and there may be unknown risks. This treatment can not guarantee the cancer will get better, since it may stay the same or get worse. What is discovered from this study may help other people in the future. The alternative to this study is not participating in this study and receiving HNSCC in patients who have previously received immunotherapy including chemotherapy with other treatment drugs or another clinical trial.

This open-label research study will evaluate two investigational therapies, TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist and TransCon IL-2 β/γ, which are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pembrolizumab, an FDA approved medication, also a study drug on this trial is given as standard of care for this type of cancer. This study begins with two study treatment groups, Groups A:TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist injected directed into the tumor once every 21 days and Group B: TransCon IL-2 β/γ which is given through a IV over 30 minutes once every 21 days. The surgery may occur after Cycle 2 of the medications at a scheduled time that the study doctor feels appropriate. Once 12 participants have completed study treatment, 6 in each group (A and B), an analysis will determine the continuation of the study. If it passes the criteria, the study will continue, and another study treatment group, Group C: Pembrolizumad alone given through an IV over 30 minutes once every 21 days, will open. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. At the present time, limited information is available on the adverse side effects potentially related to TransCon IL-2 β/γ and TransCon TLR7/8. Very common side effects observed with TransCon IL-2 β/γ include changes with your immune system being stimulated, blood pressure, and heartbeat. Also flu-like symptoms (nausea, fever, and chills), changes in lung/liver/kidney function, and brain related symptoms including dizziness, weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and/or decreased brain function, which may become life-threatening. TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist requires more data collection to determine the extent of side effects in humans. At this time, there are no proven benefits in humans however, the animal studies have shown promising results. The national accrual goal for this study is 92 participants and MUSC projects to accrual approximately 5 participants per year over a span of 2 years.

This study is enrolling subjects with advanced solid tumors with the TP53 Y220C alteration in cancer cells. This alteration is a mutation of the tumor that can be found through laboratory tests that use a sample of tissue, blood, or other fluids to check for signs of cancer. This study involves research testing the safety, best dose, side effects and timing of the study drug called PC1486. You will take the study drug, PC14586, in the form of a tablet. If assigned to the combination treatment arm (Part 1), you will also be given pembrolizumab as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy that is FDA approved to treat your kind of cancer. The study drug PC1486 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study drug targets the TP53 Y220C genetic alteration in tumor cells. During the pre-screening portion, participants will provide either archived tissue or a fresh tumor sample to test for the genetic alteration. If the participants show the genetic tumor alteration in the cancer cells, they may be asked to participate in the trial. Treatment arms are groups or subgroups of participants in a clinical trial. This study will have two arms: one studies PC1486 alone and the second arm studies PC1486 in combination with Pembrolizumab against advanced solid tumors. PC14586 is a small molecule (chemical) that is designed to act on the genetic alteration TP53 Y220C in cancer cells to slow the growth of cancer, and it is taken orally. This study involves blood tests, a possible tumor biopsy, CT, and MRI scans. The study will last approximately 6 months of treatment, followed up by a check-up after the first 3 weeks and every 3 months after. Some common risks (observed in greater than 20% of people) include: Nausea, Vomiting, Abnormal liver tests, Abnormal kidney test (possible kidney damage

This study is for men and women with HER2-positive salivary gland cancer (SGC) that has come back, spread outside of their salivary gland, or cannot be removed by surgery. This study is being done to find out if ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) extends the length of time without the cancer getting worse compared to the usual approach.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a combination of pembrolizumab and olaparib when given before and after standard chemoradiation therapy in treating locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Pembrolizumab and olaparib are drugs that are approved for treatment of different cancers including lung, head and neck, breast and prostate cancer. However, FDA has not approved use of these two drugs together in treating head and neck cancer.

Treatment will be offered in three phases. In the induction phase, participants will receive a single infusion of pembrolizumab and will take olaparib tablets twice daily for total of 21 days. Participants will move to the chemoradiation phase, where they will receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy per routine standard care, for a total of 7 weeks. Chemoradiation therapy is done on a daily basis (excluding weekends), and chemotherapy therapy will involve a cisplatin infusion once weekly. At the conclusion of this phase, participants start the maintenance phase, which involves treatment with pembrolizumab and olaparib in cycles that are 42-days long. Treatment will include a single pembrolizumab infusion during each cycle and taking olaparib tablets twice daily during each cycle. Total number of cycles to be completed in the maintenance phase are 8 cycles. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 6.5 years.

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find subjects with advanced cancer that had an exceptional disease response (improvement) while being treated with standard immunotherapy agents. This study will monitor their progression through a series of blood draws. Subjects will either continue immunotherapy or have completed immunotherapy. Participation in the study will take about 6 visits over a period of about 2 years. During this time the study team will follow your care by clinic visit, phone contact and/or medical record review every three months to collect information on the status of your cancer. This is not a treatment study.
