New drug combo tested in battle against tough head & neck cancers

NCT ID NCT05814666

Summary

This study tested whether adding an experimental drug called danvatirsen to a standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) worked better for people with advanced head and neck cancer that had spread or come back. About 69 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the two-drug combination or the standard single drug. The main goal was to see if the combination led to more tumor shrinkage and was safe. The trial was terminated early, meaning it stopped before planned completion.
