Triple threat: immunotherapy plus chemo and radiation takes on head and neck cancer
NCT ID NCT07447570
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) to standard chemoradiotherapy can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced head and neck cancer. The study will enroll 27 participants and track how many remain cancer-free after one year. The approach aims to boost the immune system's ability to fight the cancer while using radiation and chemotherapy to shrink tumors.

- Active substance
- Iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (immunotherapy drugs) plus chemotherapy (cisplatin) and radiation therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a more effective treatment for advanced head and neck cancer, potentially lowering the chance of the cancer coming back.
