Official title Study of RiMO-301 and Radiotherapy With PD-1 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Head-Neck Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05838729
What this study is testing
What is RiMO-301?
RiMO-301 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for head neck cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a prospective, open-label, single arm, non-randomized study of RiMO-301 with hypofractionated radiation and a PD-1 Inhibitor in patients with unresectable, recurrent or metastatic head-neck cancer.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 24 months
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
