Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma HNSCC

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether accelerated radiotherapy (involving 6 treatments per week) is better than standard radiotherapy (involving 5 treatments per week) at treating cancer of the head and neck when initiated more than 6 weeks after surgery.

This study is researching an experimental drug called fianlimab (also called REGN3767), combined with a medication called cemiplimab compared against cemiplimab combined with placebo (a placebo looks like a treatment but does not contain any real medicine), collectively called "study drugs" in this form. The study is focused on participants with head and neck cancers who have not been previously treated for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body, referred to as recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs * How much of each study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug(s) individually (which could make the study drugs less effective or could lead to side effects) * Compatible research to better understand the study drugs and HNSCC

This is a multicenter Phase 1b, open label, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary antitumor activity, and effect of biomarkers of zanzalintinib administered alone, and in combination with nivolumab (doublet), nivolumab + ipilimumab (triplet) and nivolumab + relatlimab (triplet) in participants with advanced solid tumors.

Objective: To collect information on how often a solid tumor cancer might lose the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) by next generation sequencing and perform apheresis to collect and store an eligible participant's own T cells for future use to make CAR T-Cell therapy for their disease treatment. Design: This is a non-interventional, observational study to evaluate participants with solid tumors with a high risk of relapse for incurable disease. No interventional therapy will be administered on this study. Some of the information regarding the participant's tumor analysis may be beneficial to management of their disease. Participants that meet all criteria may be enrolled and leukapheresed (blood cells collected). The participant's cells will be processed and stored for potential manufacture of CAR T-cell therapy upon relapse of their cancer.

This is a randomized controlled, phase II clinical study designed to explore the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC).

Enrollment is expected to be completed within 2 years; all patients will be followed up for at least 2 years after the last patient is enrolled.

The trial focuses on assessing the role of \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) staging before surgery. In the context of metastasis, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) emerge as pivotal contributors to the creation of a microenvironment conducive to future metastases. CAFs exert their influence through intricate mechanisms, including the remodeling of the extracellular matrix by secreting proteins such as collagen and fibronectin. This process enhances the structural support for cancer cell invasion into adjacent tissues. Additionally, CAFs play a central role in promoting angiogenesis, ensuring an adequate blood supply to the tumor, which may also facilitate the entry of cancer cells into the bloodstream. Through modulation of immune responses within the tumor microenvironment, CAFs establish an immunosuppressive milieu, providing a permissive environment for cancer cell survival and dissemination. Collectively, the orchestrated activities of CAFs contribute to the preparation of a metastatic niche, influencing the microenvironment at both primary and secondary sites and enhancing the likelihood of successful metastasis. Employing \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT imaging to target activated CAFs may hold the potential to discern lymph nodes (LNs) predisposed to future metastases in HNSCC. The use of this imaging modality offers a unique opportunity to visualize and assess the presence and activity of CAFs within the tumor microenvironment. By targeting the fibroblast activation protein (FAP), a receptor enriched on CAFs, this imaging approach provides a specific and sensitive mean to identify regions where the microenvironment may favor metastatic progression. In this research endeavor, the primary objective is to highlight the additional value of \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT into the standard pre-surgical imaging protocol. Additionally, the study will evaluate the efficacy of FAP positon emission tomography (PET) in primary tumor delineation. Imaging based on \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 allows the identification of CAFs, specifically by exploiting their increased FAP expression. The study aims also to systematically compare the \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT signals with the characteristics of resected lymph nodes, seeking to ascertain the capability of FAPI PET imaging in identifying premetastatic conditions. By comparing the \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 PET signal and the histopathological features of resected lymph nodes, the goal is to validate the potential of \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 PET imaging as a tool for early detection of premalignant or metastatic conditions in the lymphatic system before surgical intervention. The ability to pinpoint lymph nodes at risk for future metastases could revolutionize clinical decision-making, by facilitating a more nuanced understanding of disease spread, thereby informing personalized treatment strategies and potentially improving patient outcomes.

Main Questions This Trial Aims to Answer: 1. Does the combination of Becotatug Vedotin, Pucotenlimab, and Cisplatin lead to higher rates of pathological complete response (pCR) and major pathological response (MPR) in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC)? 2. What are the safety and tolerability profiles of the combination therapy? 3. Does the treatment improve disease-free survival at 1 year after treatment? What Participants Will Do: Treatment: Participants will receive Becotatug Vedotin (EGFR-Targeting ADC), Pucotenlimab, and Cisplatin as a combination therapy in the neoadjuvant setting. Treatment Duration: Treatment will last approximately 6-12 weeks, depending on the patient's individual regimen. Follow-up Visits: Participants will attend routine check-ups for safety evaluations and pathological assessments approximately 7 weeks after completing neoadjuvant therapy. Outcomes: Researchers will assess pathological complete response (pCR), major pathological response (MPR), and 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) following treatment.

This study compares two short pre-surgery treatments for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer to see which one keeps the cancer from coming back longer. Eligible patients (18-70 years, newly diagnosed, operable) will be randomly assigned to receive either toripalimab (immunotherapy) alone or toripalimab plus two cycles of chemotherapy (docetaxel and cisplatin). After the two cycles, all patients will have standard surgery followed by radiation (or chemo-radiation). We will track tumor response, side effects, and quality of life. Possible benefits: tumor shrinkage and lower chance of recurrence; possible risks: low blood counts, rash, tiredness, or other drug-related side effects. Taking part is voluntary and you can leave the study at any time.

The use of digital strategies to systematically monitor patients' symptoms in clinical settings allows problems to be detected at an early stage before they worsen or lead to complications. In this study, the hypothesis is that the proportion of patients with a weight loss of at least 5% between before radiotherapy/radiochemotherapy and 3 months after treatment would be lower with optimised care thanks to remote monitoring using a medical telemonitoring solution in oncology.
