Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study evaluates whether the time of day when immunotherapy is given affects clinical outcomes. It includes patients eligible for PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) or PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) inhibitor treatment who have either advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or locally advanced, resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).The study tests the hypothesis that outcomes differ based on infusion timing (morning versus afternoon). Patients are divided into two cohorts by disease type: Cohort 1 includes NSCLC and Cohort 2 includes HNSCC. Within each cohort, patients are randomly assigned to receive infusions in the morning or afternoon, using a 2:1 ratio for NSCLC and a 1:1 ratio for HNSCC. All treatment and disease assessments follow standard medical care, and outcomes such as survival and treatment response are collected from medical records. Patients will be followed for up to 2 years.

This randomized phase II trial will characterize the efficacy, adverse event (AE) profile, and safety of two regimens of 5-FU given as 2L+ treatment to patients with RM-HNSCC. Eligible patients for this trial will have previously received platinum and PD-1 inhibitor therapy. The experimental regimen (Arm 1) will comprise the two days every two weeks (2D-Q2W) regimen of 5-FU. The standard regimen (Arm 2) will consist of the four days every three weeks (4D-Q3W) regimen of 5-FU. The primary hypotheses is that each regimen of 5-FU will result in an ORR of 10% of greater assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria. The study will also describe treatment-related AEs assessed by CTCAE v5.0, dose interruptions, discontinuations, and modifications in each regimen.

This Phase I clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and optimal dosing of Zanzalintinib in combination with Pembrolizumab and Cetuximab in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M HNSCC). The study aims to establish the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) while also exploring efficacy outcomes, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

This study evaluates the feasibility of the combination of radiotherapy, chemotherapies (docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil) and spartalizumab (anti-PD-1 therapy) in patients with metastatic squamous cell anal carcinoma
