New vaccine could spare throat cancer patients from radiation

NCT ID NCT06223568

Summary

This study is testing if adding an experimental vaccine (PRGN-2009) to standard chemotherapy can effectively treat newly diagnosed HPV-linked throat cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer so well that patients can avoid radiation therapy, which often causes severe, long-term swallowing problems. The trial will enroll 70 adults to compare the vaccine-plus-chemo approach to chemotherapy alone.
