What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cancer after definitive treatment, with no definite clinical or imaging disease but NavDx-confirmed HPV tumor DNA. Treatment must have finished at least one month earlier.

The idea: cemiplimab blocks the PD1 immune brake; fianlimab blocks LAG3. Patients are randomly assigned cemiplimab alone or both drugs for one year. Researchers compare recurrence-free survival and safety. PDL1 testing is required for stratification, without a specified positivity cutoff.

This phase 2 study plans 68 patients. Ari Rosenberg leads at University of Chicago, the sole recruiting US site.
