New drug duo aims to boost immune System's fight against tough cancer

NCT ID NCT05980000

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called ramucirumab to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab works better than pembrolizumab alone for people with advanced head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors and control the cancer for longer. The trial is for adults with this specific cancer who have not yet received drug treatment for their advanced disease.
