New hope for head and neck cancer: Triple-Drug combo tested after immunotherapy fails
NCT ID NCT06725368
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of three drugs (carboplatin, paclitaxel, and cetuximab) in people with advanced head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. Participants must have already tried the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (with or without chemotherapy) and it stopped working. The goal is to see if this new combo can shrink tumors and control the disease for as long as possible. The study will enroll 46 adults in France and track their response for 12 months.
