First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug finotonlimab to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced hypopharyngeal cancer (a type of throat cancer). About 116 adults who have not had prior treatment will be randomly assigned to receive either chemo alone or chemo plus finotonlimab. The goal is to see if the combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading.
