First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving three treatments together before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced head and neck cancer. Participants will receive radiation, an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), and an experimental drug (ficerafusp alfa) before standard surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can eliminate more cancer cells. About 45 adults with HPV-negative head and neck cancer will take part.
