A phase 3 study to evaluate petosemtamab vs. investigator's choice in previously treated metastatic / recurrent head and neck cancer.
EU CTIS ID: 2023-510322-32-00
What this study is testing
To compare overall survival (OS) in participants with incurable metastatic / recurrent HNSCC who progressed on or after anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and platinum containing therapy, treated with petosemtamab monotherapy vs Investigator’s choice monotherapy
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)
