Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with resectable stage II–IV mucosal head-and-neck squamous cancer and PD-L1 combined positive score of at least one. Prior radiation for this cancer or same-side neck dissection excludes participation.

The idea: ivonescimab blocks the PD1 immune brake and VEGF signals involved in blood-vessel growth. Patients receive up to three infusions, three weeks apart, then surgery four to eight weeks after the last dose. Researchers assess tissue response.

This phase 2 study plans 28 patients. Paul Swiecicki leads at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, the sole recruiting US site.
