NCT ID NCT07041788

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) to a special type of radiation and standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced, bulky head and neck cancer live longer without the disease getting worse. The study will enroll 25 adults who have not had prior treatment. Participants will receive the drug combination along with radiation, followed by maintenance therapy. The main goal is to see if this approach improves the 2-year event-free survival rate.

Active substance

Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (immunotherapy drugs) combined with chemotherapy (docetaxel, cisplatin) and spatially fractionated radiotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option that improves long-term control of advanced head and neck cancer.

What could go wrong
