Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a Phase I, open-label, dual-cohort clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral injection of recombinant human endostatin adenovirus in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer, or in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with superficial lymph node metastasis.

- label
- Endostatin Adenovirus+PD-1 inhibitor
- description
- Recombinant Human Endostatin Adenovirus: Administered via intratumoral injection twice every 3 weeks for a total of eight doses, or until disease progression, the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Immune checkpoint inhibitor: Administered via intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks. (This study includes two parallel cohorts: Cohort A (recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer) and Cohort B (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma). Both cohorts will receive the same intervention.)
