New Triple-Threat attack on HPV-Linked throat cancer enters testing

NCT ID NCT04369937

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a vaccine that targets the HPV virus to standard cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug) can better control a specific type of throat cancer. It is for adults newly diagnosed with intermediate-risk, HPV-16 positive head and neck cancer that hasn't spread. The main goal is to see if this combination helps patients live longer without their cancer getting worse.
