A Single Arm Phase I/II Study of MK-3475 Combined With Vorinostat for Recurrent Unresectable and/or Metastatic Squamous Cell Head and Neck Cancer and Recurrent Unresectable and/or Metastatic Salivary Gland Malignancies
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Pembrolizumab, and 1 other intervention for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma and 14 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab and vorinostat in treating patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer or salivary gland cancer that has come back, has spread to other places in the body and/or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab together with vorinostat may be a better treatment for head and neck cancer or salivary gland cancer.
