New drug combo aims to reboot immune system against tough head & neck cancers

NCT ID NCT04150900

Summary

This study is testing if adding an experimental drug called bavituximab to an approved immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can help control advanced head and neck cancer that has started growing again after prior immunotherapy. It is for adults whose cancer has spread or returned and worsened despite previous treatments. The goal is to see if the combination can better engage the body's immune system to fight the cancer.
