Clinical Trials for Head And Neck Cancer

An Open-Label Phase 1/2A Study of GV20-0251 Monotherapy and GV20-0251 in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Participants With Advanced and/or Refractory Solid Tumor Malignancies

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with previously treated, progressive advanced solid tumors and no suitable standard therapy receive GV20-0251 alone or with pembrolizumab; expansion cohorts focus on selected tumor types, including melanoma, NSCLC, head and neck and endometrial cancers, and pMMR/MSS colorectal cancer in combination cohorts. GV20-0251 is an investigational antibody targeting IGSF8, a proposed innate immune checkpoint.

Safety and Efficacy of Brodalumab in the Treatment of Immune-Related Adverse Events: A Pilot Study

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.
