New drug combo tested to fight tough head and neck cancers

NCT ID NCT05323656

Summary

This study tested if adding an experimental drug called setanaxib to an existing immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) could help shrink tumors more effectively in patients with advanced head and neck cancer that had returned or spread. It involved 55 patients who were randomly assigned to receive either the real combination or a placebo with pembrolizumab. The main goal was to see which group had a greater reduction in tumor size.
