Nivolumab for Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Tertiary Centre's Real-World Experience.

Nivolumab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, was approved in Canada in 2017 for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) based on the phase 3 trial CHECKMATE-141. We aimed to examine the demographics and efficacy of nivolumab in a Canadian, real-world setting. A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who received nivolumab for R/M HNSCC from 2017 to 2020 at a high-volume cancer centre.
