First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a new drug (ficerafusp alfa) to an existing immunotherapy (nivolumab) can shrink tumors better than nivolumab alone in people with advanced head and neck cancer that stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. About 131 adults aged 18-75 will participate. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it, as ongoing treatment is needed.
