Summary
This study tests a combination of the CIMAvax vaccine (which targets a protein that helps tumors grow) and nivolumab (an immunotherapy that boosts the immune system) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer or squamous head and neck cancer. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination can slow tumor growth and improve survival. About 51 adults with these cancers that have spread or cannot be removed are participating.
