Nivolumab & IRX-2 With Surgery for Resectable Stage III-IVA Oral Cavity Cancer or HPV-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer

NCT03575234

NaSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and IRX-2 and how well they work in treating participants with stage III-IVA oral cavity cancer or human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. IRX-2 may "turn on" the immune system and stimulate an immune response against tumor cells. Giving nivolumab and IRX-2 followed by surgery may work better at treating oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer.
