New drug duo tested as last hope for tough head & neck cancers

NCT ID NCT03019003

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new combination of two drugs for people with advanced head and neck cancer that had gotten worse despite previous immunotherapy. The goal was to see if giving an oral drug (decitabine) along with an immune-boosting drug (durvalumab) was safe and could help the patient's own immune system better recognize and fight the cancer. It involved 13 participants to find the right dose and check for early signs of effectiveness.
