New hope for Tough-to-Treat head and neck cancers

NCT ID NCT03360890

Summary

This study is testing whether combining an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) with a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) can help control advanced thyroid and salivary gland cancers that have not responded well to standard treatments. It is for adults with these specific cancers who have run out of other good treatment options. The main goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors and control the disease for a longer period.
