Jared Weiss, MD, assistant professor, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses developments of immunotherapy trials for patients with head and neck cancer.
There is a trial of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in combination with radiation, which might one day replace cisplatin, explains Weiss.
There is also a study investigating durvalumab (Imfinzi) with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) as induction chemotherapy prior to surgery for hard-to-cure patients, states Weiss.
