NCT ID NCT07195734

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 38 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding chemotherapy or a chemo-immunotherapy combination before salvage surgery can improve outcomes for people with head and neck cancer that has returned or persisted. About 180 participants with PD-L1 positive tumors will receive either standard surgery alone or surgery plus the extra treatments. The goal is to see if the added therapy helps keep cancer from coming back.
