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 their cancer respond to treatment (the cancer gets smaller or goes away) than people who receive standard chemotherapy treatment.
