Summary

This study looked at adding two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) to standard radiation for people with advanced HPV-positive throat cancer. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could shrink tumors more effectively. The trial enrolled 37 participants but was terminated early, so final results are limited.
