NCT ID NCT07565389
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing a drug called ivonescimab in 42 people with a type of head and neck cancer (nasopharyngeal carcinoma) that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug is given every 3 weeks by IV. Researchers will measure how many patients' tumors shrink and how long they live without the cancer growing. The goal is to see if ivonescimab can offer a new treatment option for this difficult-to-treat cancer.
