Summary
This early-stage study aimed to find a safe dose for combining a new immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) with standard chemotherapy and radiation in patients with advanced head and neck cancer. The main goal was to check if the combination caused acceptable side effects, especially in the mouth and skin. The study was small and ended early, focusing on safety before testing if the treatment works better.
