Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment against placebo to see if it is more effective in treating people with a certain type of head and neck cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with high-risk, resected head and neck cancer who can't receive cisplatin. They must have had surgery recently, no remaining disease visible on scans, and a risk of relapse. Participants need to be able to handle standard radiotherapy and have good organ function.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if Xevinapant (Debio 1143) improves outcomes when added to radiotherapy compared to placebo in patients ineligible for cisplatin chemotherapy. It's an 18-week treatment followed by regular check-ups for up to five years.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects of Xevinapant include typical reactions related to immune system activation such as fatigue, nausea, skin reactions from radiotherapy, potential liver or kidney issues, and other symptoms that may vary among individuals.
