Summary

This study is for people with advanced head and neck cancer who are starting a standard immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab. Researchers want to see if adding a special supplement (postbiotic) can reduce the immune-related side effects of the drug. About 45 participants will receive either the supplement or a placebo for 4 treatment cycles, and the study will track changes in their gut and mouth bacteria.
