• Status: Not yet recruiting

Summary

This study is open to adults with head and neck cancer or liver cancer. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or no standard treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining different medicines make tumours shrink in people with head and neck cancer or liver cancer. The tested medicines in this study are antibodies that act in different ways against cancer.

BI 765063 and ezabenlimab may help the immune system fight cancer (checkpoint inhibitors). Cetuximab blocks growth signals and may prevent the tumour from growing. BI 836880 blocks the formation of new blood vessels that the tumour needs to grow. All participants get BI 765063 and ezabenlimab. One group gets no additional medicine. The other groups get either BI 836880, cetuximab, or chemotherapy. BI 765063, ezabenlimab, and BI 836880 are given as infusions into veins every 3 weeks. Cetuximab is given as an infusion every 1 or 2 weeks.

Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. The doctors monitor the size of the tumour. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
