  • Overview

    Study Title:

    A Phase 3 Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate he Efficacy And Safety of Petosemtamab Compared with Investigator's Choice Monotherapy Treatment in Previously Treated Patients with Incurable, Metastatic/Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Objective:

    Primary * To compare antitumor activity in ORR per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) Guidelines version (v) 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) in patients with incurable metastatic / recurrent HNSCC patients progressed on after anti-PD-1 and platinum containing therapy, treated with petosemtamab monotherapy vs investigator s choice monotherapy * To compare OS in patients with incurable metastatic / recurrent HNSCC progressed on after anti-PD-1 and platinum-containing therapy, treated with petosemtamab monotherapy vs investigator s choice monotherapy Secondary * To evaluate antitumor activity in ORR per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by investigator review * To evaluate antitumor activity in DOR per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR and investigator review * To evaluate antitumor activity in time to response (TTR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR and investigator review * To evaluate antitumor activity in PFS per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR and by investigator review * To evaluate antitumor activity in clinical benefit rate (CBR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR and by investigator review * To evaluate safety and tolerability of petosemtamab monotherapy * To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQL) using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) validated Quality of Life of Cancer Patients Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) * To evaluate HRQL using the updated EORTC validated Quality of Life of Head and Neck Cancer Patients Questionnaire (QLQ-H&N43) * To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of petosemtamab * To characterize the population PK of petosemtamab * To characterize the immunogenicity of petosemtamab
