Summary

This early-phase study tests a new drug, VLPONC-01, injected directly into head and neck tumors to see if it's safe and can shrink tumors. About 41 adults with advanced head and neck cancer will receive the injection alone or with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab). The goal is to find the best dose and check for side effects.
