The trial is testing CUE-101 alone as a second-line treatment or in combination with Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) as a first-line treatment. It's an open-label phase 1 study focusing on safety and effectiveness against HPV16+ head and neck cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune reactions due to KEYTRUDA®, such as inflammation of organs; infusion-related reactions; fatigue; digestive issues; blood disorders; increased risk of infection.
