Clinical Trials

Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.

 

Head & Neck Cancer Trials

 

  • STUDY10899

    Pembrolizumab In Combination With Anti platelet Therapy For Patients With Recurrent Or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of The Head And Neck

    To determine if anti-platelet therapy (acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel) combined with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is able to induce a more favorable immunologic response profile than immunotherapy alone.

  • STUDY16596

    An Open Label, Multicenter, Phase 1/2 Study of RP1 as a Single Agent and in Combination with PD1 Blockade in Patients with Solid Tumors

    RPL-001-16 is a Phase 1/2, open label, dose escalation and expansion clinical study of RP1 alone and in combination with nivolumab in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary efficacy.

  • STUDY15227

    A Phase 2, randomized, open label three arm clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib (E7080/MK 7902) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK 3475) versus standard of care chemotherapy and lenvatinib monotherapy in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) that have progressed after platinum therapy and immunotherapy (PD 1/PD L1 inhibitors) (LEAP 009)

    To compare lenvatinib + pembrolizumab combination therapy and SOC chemotherapy with respect to ORR per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR.

  • STUDY17022

    First in Human, Phase 1/1b, Open label, Multicenter Study of Bifunctional EGFR/TGF ß Fusion Protein BCA101 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients with EGFR Driven Advanced Solid Tumors

    The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors.

  • STUDY17262

    Combination of Autophagy Selective Therapeutics (COAST) in Relapsed Gynecological Cancers, Relapsed Prostate Cancer, or other Advanced Solid Tumors, a Phase I/II Trial

    Autophagy is a cancer cell survival mechanism that is involved in cancer growth, treatment resistance, and metastasis. Hydroxychloroquine and nelfinavir mesylate are agents that inhibit the process of autophagy. Metformin, dasatinib, and sirolimus stress autophagy.
