New drug combo aims to tame tough head and neck cancers

NCT ID NCT04862650

Summary

This study is testing whether combining an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) with two low-dose chemotherapy drugs works better for treating head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. It will involve about 46 patients whose cancer has come back or spread and who haven't had other drug treatments for it. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink after 12 weeks of this combination therapy.
