Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

The first study cohort, named AIM-HN, will include patients with HRAS mutated Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) HRAS. Patients enrolled in AIM-HN, will receive treatment with tipifarnib, Dose Level 1 orally, on days 1-7 and 15-21 of 28-day treatment cycles. The second study cohort, SEQ-HN, is an observational sub-study and includes 2 types of patients: (1) the historical record of first line therapy in AIM-HN (HRAS mutant HNSCC) subjects in whom first line outcome data are available and (2) matched control HNSCC patients in whom HRAS mutations were not identified (wild type HRAS HNSCC) and who consent to provide first line outcome data and additional follow up.
