Where the trials are

Listed sites in each state and territory. Choose one to show only the trials with a site there, and choose it again to show them all.

6 listed sites on this page do not say which state they are in, so the counts above are lower than the real number of sites in some states. The trials themselves are all listed below.

Trials for Head and Neck Cancer

57 of 57 trials shown.

This Australian count is likely to be on the low side. It counts the trials this site files under this condition; the registry’s own search is broader and also returns closely related conditions, some of which have their own page here. If you are searching widely, check the registry as well — every trial below links to its own record.

Trials not shown here

Some Australian trials are registered only on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry and are not shown here. Search them at Australian Clinical Trials.

Trials overseas

1,999 trials for this condition are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.

These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Head and Neck Cancer

The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.

What is head and neck cancer? Head and neck cancer is the name for cancers that develop in the mouth, nose and sinuses, salivary glands, and throat and voice box (larynx). Most head and neck cancers are squamous cell cancers. They begin in the moist tissues that line the head and neck. The cancer cells may spread into deeper tissue as the cancer grows. There are other cancers that develop in the head and neck, such as brain cancer, eye cancer, and esophageal cancer. But they are usually not considered to be head and neck cancers, because those types of cancer and their treatments are different. Who is more likely to develop head and neck cancer? Anyone can get head and neck cancer, but you are more likely to develop it if you: - Use tobacco or drink lots of alcohol. Your risk of developing head and neck cancer is even higher if you do both. - Are male. - Are over age 50. - Have a history of head or neck cancer. - Have HPV (for cancers in the tonsils and base of the tongue). - Are exposed to wood dusts or certain other toxic substances at work (for upper throat, nose, and sinus cancers). - Have had radiation exposure to the head and neck (for salivary gland cancer). - Have Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection (for upper throat and salivary gland cancers). - Are Asian (for upper throat cancer). What are the symptoms of head and neck cancer? The symptoms of head and neck cancer may include: - A lump in the neck - A sore in the mouth or the throat that does not heal and may be painful - A sore throat that does not go away - Trouble swallowing - A change or hoarseness in the voice Other possible symptoms can depend on the specific type of head and neck cancer. How is head and neck cancer diagnosed? Which exams and tests used to diagnose head and neck cancer can depend on the specific type of cancer. Possible exams and tests may include: - A physical exam of the area that might have cancer. - Blood and/or urine tests. - An endoscopy. - A biopsy or other procedure to collect cells from the area that might have cancer. The cells are viewed under a microscope to find out if they are abnormal. - Imaging tests. What are the treatments for head and neck cancer? The treatment for head and neck cancer will depend on the specific type of cancer, the stage (how advanced the cancer is), your overall health, and other factors. The treatment options might include: - Surgery - Radiation therapy - Chemotherapy - Cancer immunotherapy - Targeted therapy, which uses drugs or other substances that mainly attack specific cancer cells and cause less harm to normal cells In some cases, you may need a combination of treatments. Sometimes surgery can affect how well you can chew, swallow, or talk. Rehabilitation, such as physical therapy, dietary counseling, and speech therapy, may help. Can head and neck cancer be prevented? There are steps you can take to help prevent head and neck cancer: - Not smoking - Limiting alcohol use or not drinking at all - Getting regular dental exams - Talking to your provider about HPV vaccination NIH: National Cancer Institute

Not medical advice.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.

Tell us which conditions matter to you

We use requests to help decide what to add next. Telling us about a condition is not a promise that we will add it, and we cannot say when any condition might appear.

We store the condition you name and the date you sent it. Nothing else: no email address, no name, and no link to any account. There is nothing here we could contact you with, so we will not email you as a result of this form. See our privacy policy.
