ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called volrustomig for patients with a type of cancer called unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). This trial is for individuals who have already received a specific type of treatment known as definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) and have not seen their cancer worsen in the past 12 weeks. The goal is to find out if volrustomig is more effective and safer than simply observing the patient's condition without any additional treatment.
To be eligible for this trial, participants must have been diagnosed with advanced head and neck cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and must not have had any surgery to remove the tumor. The trial is open to adults aged 18 and older, regardless of gender. If someone decides to join the trial, they can expect regular check-ins and monitoring to assess their health and how well the treatment works. It's important to note that this study is currently recruiting, so interested individuals can reach out for more information on how to participate.
