Get the trial number so we can look at it exactly. Sounds like like something else, not one of the immunotherapy trials mentioned above which are being done at several locations. The information they are giving u is so watered down that I can't tell what they are going to do. But with a trial number u/ we can look it up and see exactly what it entails. There are some chemo only trials out there, but I don't know much about them. Most of these immunotherapy trials in H and N are very early trials where dosing is still being figured out. Don't let that spook u if this is a Hail Mary last choice idea. All the patients in the trials have had previous treatment and they are not available to first time people that have not had chemo or rads already. They both involve taking cells out of the patient and growing them in abnormally high numbers and reintroducing them. In other cancers some of the immunotherapy ideas incorporate gene and proteome sequencing of an individual's tumor and then altering patient immune cells to look specifically for that problem and attack it. Those are really the cutting edge future of cancer treatment but not available in h and n yet.
