ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called IAE0972, which is being tested in combination with chemotherapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) or nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The main goal of this trial is to see if this combination is safe and tolerable for patients who have already had limited treatment options. If you are between the ages of 18 and 75 and have been diagnosed with advanced cancer of the head and neck or nasopharyngeal carcinoma, you might be eligible to participate, especially if you have not received more than two lines of treatment previously.
Participants in this trial can expect to receive the study drug along with chemotherapy selected by their doctor. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, but once it begins, those who qualify will be monitored closely to ensure their safety and to assess how well the treatment works. It's important to know that participants will need to meet specific health criteria and agree to use reliable birth control during the study. This trial aims to find out if IAE0972 can help patients who have not responded well to other treatments and to better understand its effects on their condition.
