Study Summary

This trial looks at the safety and tolerability of nivolumab, injected into precancerous lesions in the mouth, in patients at high risk for oral cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high-risk oral premalignant lesions that haven't been treated yet. Participants must be able to consent, have an ECOG performance status of 0-2, and show proper organ function. Women who can bear children need a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control; men also need to commit to contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of Nivolumab when injected directly into the lesion in the mouth. It's open-label, meaning everyone knows they're getting Nivolumab, and it's not randomized so there are no comparison groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Nivolumab may cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in organs like lungs or intestines, skin reactions, hormone gland problems (like thyroid), infusion reactions, tiredness, and potential infection risks.
