This trial is for adults with resectable, p16-positive HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous-cell cancer, stage one with T1–T2 and N1 disease. Extensive or fixed lymph-node disease and prior checkpoint treatment exclude participation.

The idea: atezolizumab blocks PD-L1, a signal that restrains immune attack. Patients receive two intravenous doses before surgery through the mouth and neck-node removal. Researchers assess safety, treatment response, immune changes, and two-year event-free survival. Further treatment follows surgical pathology findings.

This phase 2 study plans 20 patients. Nabil Saba leads at Emory in Atlanta, the sole recruiting US site.
