Could a Two-Drug punch before surgery shrink head & neck tumors?
NCT ID NCT06980038
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding an experimental drug (CDX-1140) to a standard immunotherapy (cemiplimab) before surgery can shrink advanced head and neck cancers more than the immunotherapy alone. About 44 people with stage III-IV head and neck cancer will receive either the combo or the single drug for a short time before their planned surgery. The main goal is to see if the combo leads to a major reduction in viable tumor tissue and is safe.
