Phase II Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy with or without Cisplatin for Surgically Resected Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) with TP53 Sequencing

 

NRG-HN001

ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02135042

RANDOMIZED PHASE II AND PHASE III STUDIES OF INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT FOR NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA BASED ON BIOMARKER EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS (EBV) DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA)

 

RTOG 0920

A PHASE III STUDY OF POSTOPERATIVE RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT) +/- CETUXIMAB FOR LOCALLY-ADVANCED RESECTED HEAD AND NECK CANCER

 

ALLIANCE FOR CLINICAL TRIALS IN ONCOLOGY

A091305

A PHASE 2 STUDY OF EFATUTAZONE, AN ORAL PPAR AGONIST, IN COMBINATION WITH PACLITAXEL IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED ANAPLASTIC THYROID CANCER

WF 97115

A Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Acupuncture for Treatment of Radiation-Induced Xerostomia in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer

ECOG-ACRIN EA 6134 – Randomizes between Dabrafenib + Trametinib followed by Ipilimumab + Nivolumab at progression or Ipilimumab + Nivolumab followed by Dabrafenib + Trametinib at progression.  BRAF V600 mutation is required, and patients must have Stage IV or unresectable Stage III, measurable disease.

SWOG S1320 – Randomizes between intermittent versus continuous dosing of Dabrafenib + Trametinib for BRAF V600E/K mutant, Stage IV or unresectable Stage III, melanoma. Again, patients must have measurable disease.

SWOG S1616 – Randomizes between Nivolumab + Ipilimumab or Ipilimumab alone in Stage IV or unresectable Stage III melanoma patients with measurable disease refractory to Anti-PD-1 or Anti-PD-L1 agents.

SWOG S1512 – Phase II trial of PD-1 blockade with Pembrolizumab in resectable or unresectable desmoplastic melanoma. Also requires measurable disease

SWOG S1607 – Phase II trial combining T-VEC (talimogene laherparepvec) + Pembroluzumab in patients with in Stage IV or unresectable Stage III melanoma patients with measurable disease who have progressed on Anti-PD1/L1 based therapy. Patients must have 2 cutaneous, subcutaneous or nodal lesions which are injectable.
