New hope for head and neck cancer: drug combo shows promise after standard treatment fails
NCT ID NCT06856213
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (paclitaxel) to a targeted therapy (cetuximab) works better than cetuximab alone for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. About 65 adults with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear.
