This trial is for adults with surgically removable stage III–IV head-and-neck squamous cancer without distant spread. Oropharyngeal tumors must be p16-negative; prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment is excluded.

The idea: compare cemiplimab alone with CDX-1140 plus cemiplimab before surgery. CDX-1140 activates CD40 signaling in immune cells; cemiplimab blocks PD-1. Infusions precede surgery on days 29–36. Tumor biopsies are required.

This phase 2 study plans 44 patients. Matin Imanguli leads the NCI-sponsored trial, with 12 recruiting US sites. Both newly diagnosed and recurrent cancers can qualify.
