The trial’s own eligibility text, word for word from the registry. Only the trial site can say who takes part.
Inclusion
- +Patients with p16-positive tumors are eligible if M0 and any of one the following: cT4 or cN3 or cT2-3N2 or imaging-detected extranodal extension (iENE) according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/TNM Staging System, 8th or 9th edition (Ed.)

About This Trial
This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety and best dose of ipatasertib in combination with the usual treatment approach using chemotherapy together with radiation therapy ("chemo-radiation") in patients with head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them. Cisplatin, which is a chemotherapy used in this trial, is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving ipatasertib in combination with chemo-radiation may be better than chemo-radiation alone in treating patients with advanced head and neck cancer.
