Neoadjuvant Nivolumab plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients with Locally Advanced Resectable Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Phase II, Single-Arm Trial

This phase II trial of neoadjuvant nivolumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in previously untreated, locally-advanced, resectable SCCHN was well tolerated and reached its primary endpoint of pCR at the primary site. A phase III confirmatory study is warranted in advanced-stage, resectable HPV-negative SCCHN.
