New lozenges aim to shrink tumors before cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT05312710

Summary

This study is testing if a new lozenge called APG-157 can safely shrink head and neck tumors before patients start their main cancer treatment, like surgery or radiation. Researchers want to see if reducing the tumor size first leads to better outcomes. The study involves 24 newly diagnosed patients who will dissolve the lozenges in their mouth three times a day for four to six weeks.
