ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new treatment approach for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (a type of mouth cancer) who are at a specific stage of the disease (known as clinical N2). The goal is to see if a certain protein called Cyclin D1 can help predict how well patients will respond to a specific chemotherapy regimen called TPF. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 to 75 who have been diagnosed with this type of cancer and have a high level of Cyclin D1 in their tumor.
To be eligible, patients should be in good overall health, meaning they can perform daily activities without much difficulty, and their cancer should be at a stage where it can still be surgically removed. If someone joins the trial, they will receive the TPF chemotherapy treatment and be monitored closely for its effects. It's important for potential participants to understand that this trial is not for everyone; those with certain health conditions, previous cancer treatments, or who are pregnant will not be able to participate. If you or a loved one is considering this trial, it’s a great opportunity to contribute to research that could improve treatment for mouth cancer.
