Summary

This early-phase study tests whether injecting the cancer drug nivolumab directly into high-risk mouth lesions can shrink or control them. About 18 adults with biopsy-proven oral premalignant lesions will receive the injections. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective at reducing the risk of these lesions turning into cancer.
