Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with HPV-negative head-and-neck squamous cancer that is recurrent/metastatic or incurable locally advanced. One or two previous systemic treatment lines, including anti-PD-1/L1 therapy, are required.

The idea: combine modified donor-derived natural-killer cells with NAI, an immune-stimulating protein, and cetuximab, a targeted antibody. The combination aims to strengthen cancer-directed immune-cell activity. Cells and cetuximab are infused; NAI is injected under the skin, every two weeks. Doses may decrease for toxicity. Follow-up extends to 15 years.

This phase 2 study plans 25 patients. Michael Dennis leads at two recruiting Boston sites.
