Immunotherapy shows promise against mouth precancers
Disease control CompletedThis study tested the drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in 15 people with high-risk precancerous mouth lesions. The goal was to see if the drug could prevent these lesions from turning into oral cancer. Participants were randomly assigned to receive the drug or just be watched. The s…

New biomarker may predict which cancer drugs work best
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis completed study tested whether a new biomarker called 'mass response' can predict how well a cancer therapy will work. Researchers collected tumor cells from 72 patients with various cancers through fluid drainage or biopsies. The goal was to see if this biomarker could guid…
