CD40 Agonist and PD-1 Inhibitor in HNSCC (NCT06159621)
Neoadjuvant/Phase 1 Study of CD40 Agonist (LVGN7409) and PD-1 Inhibitor (LVGN3616) in Patients With Resectable HPV-negative Mucosal Head/Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Prospective, open-label, phase 1 study of CD40 agonist (LVGN7409) and PD-1 inhibition (LVGN3616 or nivolumab) in patients with resectable Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-negative mucosal head/neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This protocol proposes to study the safety and immunological effects of LVGN7409, a CD40 agonistic antibody, when administered in combination with PD-1 inhibition prior to surgical resection.
