New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT04892173RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus a tumor injection, with or without cetuximab
This trial studies whether adding a special drug given directly into a head-and-neck tumor during radiation can improve outcomes. It also looks at whether cetuximab (an antibody medicine) should be added for people who cannot or should not have certain standard chemotherapy.
