First seen Apr 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a targeted drug (cetuximab) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab or finotonlimab) and chemotherapy can help people with advanced head and neck cancer live longer without their cancer growing. About 316 adults aged 18-70 whose cancer has spread or returned will be randomly assigned to receive either the three-drug combo or just immunotherapy plus chemo. The main goal is to see if the triple therapy delays cancer progression.
