New combo attack on tough head and neck cancer recurrences

NCT ID NCT03546582

Summary

This study is for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or who have a new, related cancer in the same area. It is testing whether adding an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab/Keytruda) to a short, precise course of radiation is better at keeping the cancer from growing again than using the radiation alone. The goal is to see if this combination helps patients live longer without their cancer getting worse.
