Summary

This study tests a combination of three drugs (volrustomig, paclitaxel, and carboplatin) in people with untreated HPV-negative head and neck cancer that has spread locally but not to other parts of the body. The goal is to see how many patients experience significant tumor shrinkage after this initial treatment. Afterward, the next steps are tailored based on how well the tumor responded. About 38 adults will take part in this phase 2 trial.
