Cancer test study pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT05296135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to check if a new test, called OncoPrism-HNSCC, could predict how well immunotherapy would work in people with head and neck cancer that had spread. Researchers would have looked at tumor samples taken before treatment to see if the test could tell who would benefit. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
