Drugs aim to shrink facial tumors, spare patients from disfiguring surgery

NCT ID NCT05929664

Summary

This study is testing whether giving one or two immunotherapy drugs before surgery can shrink advanced basal cell carcinomas on the head and neck. The goal is to see if shrinking the tumor first allows surgeons to perform a less extensive operation, potentially preserving important facial features and function. About 70 patients will receive several infusions of the drugs over weeks before their scheduled surgery.
