New combo therapy tested for tough head & neck cancer

NCT ID NCT03267498

Summary

This study tested whether adding an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation treatment could better control nasopharyngeal cancer. It involved 40 adults with stage II-IVB cancer to see if the combined treatment was feasible and effective. The main goal was to see if patients could complete the full course of this new regimen and to measure how well the cancer responded one year after treatment ended.
