Compares treatment options for HNSCC
Official title PD-1 Inhibitor Therapy Versus Radiotherapy in pCR Patients With Locally Advanced HNSCC After Neoadjuvant Immunochemotherapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05980715
What this study is testing
What is PD-1inhibitor?
PD-1inhibitor is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for hnscc.
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
- In patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma undergoing standard surgical treatment after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, can PD-1 inhibitor therapy be used instead of adjuvant radiotherapy for both primary and lymph node pathology? To provide further evidence-based medical evidence for the late precision treatment of HNSCC patients after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
