Summary

This study tested a personalized approach to immunotherapy in 20 people with advanced head and neck cancer that had already worsened after standard immunotherapy. Researchers used genetic testing of the tumor to choose which additional drug to add to the standard treatment, aiming to boost the immune system's ability to fight the cancer. The goal was to see if this tailored combination could shrink tumors or slow the disease.
