Summary

This study tests a three-step treatment for people with a type of head and neck cancer not caused by HPV. First, patients receive a drug called palbociclib before standard chemoradiation, then they get chemoradiation, and finally they take palbociclib again after treatment. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and control the disease. About 26 adults with advanced cancer are taking part.
