First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called HLX43 in people whose head and neck cancer has returned or spread to other parts of the body. The drug works by attaching a cancer-killing agent to an antibody that targets a protein (PD-L1) on tumor cells. About 167 adults aged 18 to 75 will receive the drug to see if it shrinks tumors and how safe it is. This is not a cure, but aims to control the disease.
