Triple-Drug cocktail aims to shrink head and neck tumors
NCT ID NCT07509099
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a targeted drug (cetuximab) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab or finotonlimab) and chemotherapy helps people with advanced head and neck cancer live longer without their cancer growing. About 316 adults aged 18-70 with cancer that has spread or returned will take part. The goal is to see if the triple combination works better than the usual two-drug approach.
