Recruiting PHASE3 Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Compares treatment options for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Official title A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate Petosemtamab Compared With Investigator's Choice Monotherapy in Previously Treated Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients (LiGeR-HN2)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06496178

What this study is testing

What is Petosemtamab?

Petosemtamab is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a phase 3 open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter study to compare petosemtamab vs investigator's choice monotherapy in HNSCC patients for the second- and third-line treatment of incurable metastatic/recurrent disease.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
