Neoadjuvant Immunoradiotherapy With Evorpacept and Pembrolizumab in HPVOPC (Human Papilloma Virus Oropharynx Cancer)
Neoadjuvant Radiation and Evorpacept (ALX148) in Combination With Pembrolizumab In Patients With Previously Untreated Locally Advanced, Resectable, HPVOPC (Human Papilloma Virus Oropharynx Cancer)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The majority of head and neck cancer patients do not respond to immunotherapies, and clinical responses are often not durable. However, targeting tumors with stereotactic radiation in combination with immunotherapy while sparing draining lymphatics enhances anticancer immunity, resulting in dramatic response in HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) virus related cancers of the throat. This trial will leverage targeted tumor radiation and immunotherapy in advance of standard surgical therapy to improve the response of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) throat cancer to radiation and immunotherapy.
