Official title Response Adaptive Radiotherapy Following Immunotherapy-based Induction for Non-HPV Related HNSCC
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06345287
What this study is testing
What is anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody?
anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for head and 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
- The aim of this study is to develop an adaptive radiation therapy plan for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma receiving induction therapy containing immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The therapy plan is based on clinical remission, in order to reduce treatment-related toxic side effects without sacrificing clinical efficacy and improve the quality of life of patients.
