Is NCT06239220 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including PD-L1 t-haNK and NAI for head and neck cancer.

Phase 2RecruitingGlenn J. HannaNCT06239220Data as of May 2026

Treatment: PD-L1 t-haNK · Cetuximab · NAIThe purpose of this research study is to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of PD-L1 t-haNK (modified immune cells), NAI (a manufactured protein that stimulates the immune system), and cetuximab (a targeted antibody) in treating advanced head and neck cancer. The names of the therapies involved in this study are: * PD-L1 t-haNK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy infusion) * NAI (a type of recombinant human superagonist) * Cetuximab (a type of antibody)

Performance status

ECOG 0–1(Restricted strenuous activity)

Prior therapy

Max 2 prior lines
Min 1 prior line

Must have received: anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy — one prior line must have included anti-PD-1/L1 therapy

one of these lines should have included anti-PD-1/L1 therapy

Must have received: platinum-based chemotherapy — definitive/adjuvant or curative-intent treatment can count as 1 prior line if progression within 6 months

Platinum-based therapy as part of definitive/adjuvant or curative-intent treatment can count as 1 prior line of therapy if the subject progressed within 6 months of receiving therapy

Cannot have received: systemic therapy

Exception: no more than 2 prior lines for R/M HNSCC

Have been previously treated with 3 or more lines of systemic therapy for R/M HNSCC
