Early trial halted: testing a powerful combo for tough head & neck cancers

NCT ID NCT02819752

Summary

This early-stage study aimed to find a safe dose for combining a new immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) with standard chemotherapy and radiation for patients with advanced head and neck cancer. It focused on measuring side effects, especially in the mouth and skin, to see if the combined treatment was tolerable. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only 3 patients.
