Is NCT05541016 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Cisplatin and Docetaxel for clinical stage i hpv-mediated (p16-positive) oropharyngeal carcinoma ajcc v8.

Phase 2RecruitingMayo ClinicNCT05541016Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Cisplatin · DocetaxelThis phase II trial examines the use of blood-based biomarkers is to help inform decision making for treatment and radiation therapy for patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) positive oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers. The standard treatments for head and neck cancers are radiation therapy with chemotherapy or surgery potentially followed by radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy along with radiation may kill more tumor cells. However, the cancer can recur or can spread to other parts of the body and all treatments can be associated with side effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a blood-based biomarker, using the NavDx testing device, for head and neck cancers in order to see if it can help improve selection of the intensity of treatment in order to best balance the side effects of treatment with the goal of decreasing cancer recurrence. This test could aid in early detection of recurrence and salvage therapy.
