A Phase III Randomized, Open-Label, Multi-Center, Global Study of MEDI4736 Monotherapy and MEDI4736 in Combination With Tremelimumab Versus Standard of Care Therapy in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN)
Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to determine the
efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy and MEDI4736 monotherapy
versus SoC therapy in the target patient population.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to determine the
efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy and MEDI4736 monotherapy
versus SoC therapy in the target patient population.
The main objectives of the study are to:
- assess the efficacy of MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy versus SoC in
patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), in terms of overall
survival (OS), regardless of PDL-1 status
- assess the efficacy of MEDI4736 monotherapy versus SOC in patients with SCCHN, in terms
of OS, regardless of PDL-1 status
Patients will undergo a screening assessment on their tumor tissue sample to determine PD-L1
expression per a pre-specified cut-off level. Patients with ≥25% of tumor cells with membrane
staining will be considered PD-L1 positive while those with 0% to 24% of tumor cells with
membrane staining will be considered PD-L1 negative. Based on the underlying PD-L1 status,
patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive treatment with MEDI4736 monotherapy,
MEDI4736 + tremelimumab combination therapy, or SoC therapy. Patients who discontinue
treatment in 1 treatment group may not switch to treatment in a different group.
Stratification factors include PD-L1 status, human papillomavirus status, (in patients with
oropharyngeal cancer only), and smoking status.
Tumor assessments will be performed every 8 weeks until objective tumor response by Response
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).
