Clinical Trials for Cervical Cancer

Phase 1b Study of TMV Vaccine Therapy Alone and TMV Vaccine Plus Pembrolizumab for Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC (oral cavity, larynx, hypopharynx, oropharynx, nasopharynx, sinonasal, or unknown primary) after ≥2 prior systemic lines and amenable to salvage surgery receive an autologous tumor membrane vesicle (TMV) vaccine derived from their resected tumor, alone or combined with pembrolizumab. TMV is a personalized intradermal vaccine presenting native tumor membrane antigens/neoantigens to prime T-cell responses; the combination adds anti–PD-1 checkpoint blockade.

A Phase 3 Open-Label, Randomized Study of PDS0101 and Pembrolizumab vs Pembrolizumab Alone in First-Line Treatment of Unresectable Recurrent and/or Metastatic HPV16+ Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with unresectable recurrent/metastatic HPV16-positive, PD-L1 CPS ≥1 HNSCC (non-nasopharyngeal) and no prior systemic therapy in the R/M setting are randomized to pembrolizumab with or without PDS0101. PDS0101 is an investigational Versamune-based HPV16 antigen vaccine aiming to induce HPV16-specific CD8/CD4 T cells to enhance response to PD-1 blockade.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06790966

Randomized Phase III Trial of Pembrolizumab vs. Pembrolizumab/Cetuximab in Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Platinum Refractory Disease

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with platinum-refractory recurrent/metastatic HNSCC (oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx), PD-L1 CPS ≥1, ECOG 0–2, and no prior systemic therapy for R/M disease are randomized to pembrolizumab alone vs pembrolizumab plus cetuximab. Pembrolizumab is an anti–PD-1 antibody; cetuximab is an anti-EGFR antibody, with the combination tested to enhance efficacy in this setting.

Restoration of Radioiodine Uptake with Selpercatinib in RET Fusion-Positive Radioiodine-Refractory Thyroid Cancer: a Phase 2 Study Performed in Collaboration with the International Thyroid Oncology Group (ITOG)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: RET fusion–positive, radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (adolescents ≥12 and adults) with metastatic/unresectable disease, limited prior therapy, and no prior RET TKI receive a short selpercatinib lead-in (selective RET kinase inhibitor) to restore radioiodine uptake followed by therapeutic I-131 under rhTSH, with an option for a second selpercatinib/I-131 course if uptake is restored. Key allowances include treated/stable brain metastases; exclusions include QT-prolonging risks and recent I-131.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05668962

A Phase II Trial of Lovastatin and Pembrolizumab in Patients with RM HNSCC (LAPP)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with PD-L1–positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (ECOG 0–1) not candidates for salvage surgery receive pembrolizumab plus oral lovastatin; prior checkpoint inhibitor use and current statin therapy are excluded. Pembrolizumab is an anti–PD-1 antibody, and lovastatin (HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor) is added to potentially enhance antitumor immunity via mevalonate pathway inhibition.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06636734

Randomized Phase 2 Study of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab With or Without Cabozantinib in Patients With Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma That Have Progressed After Platinum Treatment and Immunotherapy

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma after platinum–gemcitabine and prior PD‑1/L1 therapy (up to two prior lines; ECOG 0–2; treated/stable brain mets allowed) are randomized to nivolumab (PD‑1) plus ipilimumab (CTLA‑4) with or without cabozantinib, a multikinase inhibitor of MET/VEGFR2/AXL. Aims to determine whether adding cabozantinib improves outcomes versus dual checkpoint blockade alone.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05904080

Phase III Randomized Trial of Immunotherapy With or Without Consolidative Radiotherapy for Oligometastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with oligometastatic HNSCC (≤4 metastatic sites) who have not progressed after 3 cycles of pembrolizumab plus platinum/fluorouracil- or paclitaxel-based chemotherapy are randomized to maintenance pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) with consolidative radiotherapy to all disease sites versus pembrolizumab alone. Requires measurable disease, ECOG 0–1 at induction (0–2 at randomization), no prior head/neck RT, and no active autoimmune disease needing systemic therapy.
