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.
