First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding two experimental HPV vaccines (pBI-11 and TA-HPV) to the standard immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in people with advanced oropharyngeal cancer that is HPV-positive. About 54 adults whose cancer has returned or spread will receive the vaccines and pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if the combination triggers a stronger immune response against the cancer than pembrolizumab alone.
