New hope for throat cancer patients: immunotherapy trial aims to keep cancer at bay

NCT ID NCT04910347

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab after standard chemoradiation treatment can help prevent cancer from returning in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (a type of throat cancer). The trial will enroll 57 adults who have completed initial treatment but may still have residual disease. Participants will receive nivolumab infusions every three weeks for up to one year to see if it improves long-term cancer control.
