New drug cocktails aim to shrink tumors before cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT04080804

Summary

This study tests whether giving one or two immunotherapy drugs before surgery is safe and can help shrink tumors in people with operable head and neck cancer. About 80 patients will receive either nivolumab alone or combined with another drug (relatlimab or ipilimumab) for a few weeks prior to their planned operation. The main goals are to check for serious side effects and see how much the tumors respond to treatment before removal.
