Conditions
Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of Head And Neck
Trial Purpose
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with head and neck cancer whose cancer has come back after treatment (recurrent) or whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Some people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer are treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, but the cancer gets worse.
The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive lenvatinib and pembrolizumab have a better overall survival rate than people who receive standard chemotherapy treatment.

Trial Phase
Trial Phase 2
In Phase 2 trials, researchers try to find out if a treatment works in about 100 to 500 participants – usually people who have the health condition the treatment is intended to treat. In vaccine trials, the participants are usually healthy. Phase 2 trials may happen in a doctor’s office, a clinic, or a hospital.
