New Two-Drug attack tested to shrink tumors before cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT07465276

Summary

This study is testing whether giving two drugs—ficerafusp alfa (an experimental drug) and pembrolizumab (an approved immunotherapy)—before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with high-risk, operable head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this pre-surgery treatment is safe and effective at reducing the amount of cancer found in the tissue removed during surgery. About 32 participants with a specific type of cancer that tests positive for a marker called PD-L1 will be enrolled.
