Summary

"This trial will study the effects of three different drugs on Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma tumors. The drugs will be administered directly into the tumor in small amounts using a specialized device. The

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with accessible lesions from Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), including Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, who are already scheduled for tumor removal surgery. Participants must have a lesion that can be reached for intratumoral drug delivery.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of three drugs—Rilvegostomig, Volrustomig, Sabestomig—delivered directly into the tumor using a device called CIVO. These effects are compared to those of Pembrolizumab, another drug given in the same way.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site within the tumor, general immune-related side effects such as fatigue or flu-like symptoms due to Pembrolizumab and other tested drugs.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Rilvegostomig, Volrustomig, Sabestomig, PembrolizumabExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
HNSCC patients presenting with a surface accessible lesion who are scheduled for tumor and/or regional node dissection as part of their standard treatment will be injected one to three days prior to surgery using the CIVO device. The planned injection scheme includes: vehicle control and microdoses of rilvegostomig, volrustomig, sabestomig, and pembrolizumab alone.
