New drug duo aims to shrink tough head and neck tumors

NCT ID NCT03650764

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two existing drugs, ramucirumab and pembrolizumab, works better than pembrolizumab alone for advanced head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. The first part of the study aims to find a safe dose for the combination. The second part will see how well the combination shrinks tumors in patients who have not yet received other drug treatments for their advanced cancer.
