Summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with head and neck cancer whose
cancer has come back after treatment (recurrent) or whose cancer has spread to other
parts of the body (metastatic). Some people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck
cancer are treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, but the cancer gets worse.

The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive lenvatinib and
pembrolizumab have a better overall survival rate than people who receive standard
chemotherapy treatment.

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts... Click here to learn more about clinical trials.
