Autologous CAR-T Cells Targeting CSPG4 in Relapsed/Refractory HNSCC
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the CSPG4 antigen (iC9.CAR-CSPG4 T cells) in patients with head and neck cancer that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The …
Microbiome in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study aims to determine whether dysbiosis actively contributes to HNSCC and if so, the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound for Sentinel Node Detection
This is a prospective single-center interventional non-inferiority study where subjects are participating for one day for patients 18 years or older with melanoma, breast cancer or head \& neck cancer (including melanoma of head and neck area) and scheduled for a surgical SN procedure in the NKI-AvL without any contra-indication …
Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head & Neck Cancer Patients, Pilot Study
Some head and neck cancer survivors develop velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD), a problem with closure between the soft palate and throat that can cause nasal-sounding speech, food or liquid leaking into the nose, difficulty swallowing, and reduced quality of life. This study aims to better understand VPD in this population and …
Evaluating 111In Panitumumab for Nodal Staging in Head and Neck Cancer
This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of indium In 111 panitumumab (111In-panitumumab) for identifying the first lymph nodes to which cancer has spread from the primary tumor (sentinel lymph nodes) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) undergoing surgery. The most important factor for …
The Role of Circulating Tumour DNA in Head and Neck Cancer
Cancers of the throat, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), are highly prevalent across Scotland. Over the past 10 years, both global and Scottish cases of OPSCC have increased, particularly those associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). However there has been little change in techniques for diagnosis and monitoring. Although imaging technologies …
Optical Surface Guidance for External Radiotherapy of Head and Neck Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of surface repositioning alone, without a restraint mask, during radiotherapy sessions for patients with head and neck cancer.
GDFT on the Postoperative Outcome in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) can improve the postoperative recovery in patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery. It aims to answer is: • Whether GDFT can reduce the occurrence of serious postoperative complications? Researchers will compare GDFT protocol to a …
Intraoperative Ansa Cervicalis Nerve (ACN) Stimulation
Recently published data suggest that stimulation of the infrahyoid strap muscles increases pharyngeal patency in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but the innervation of these muscles by the ansa cervicalis is variable. The investigators propose a study examining the anatomic variation of the ansa cervicalis and the effect of neurostimulation …
Surface Monitoring Technology to Remove The Mask - Stage 1
A pilot-stage device feasibility study investigating a mask-free motion-monitoring patient immobilisation system for use during radiation therapy treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC). This mask-free system combines the standard radiation therapy (RT) head rest to help the patient remain still with a surface guidance detection system that uses sensors …
