Recruiting PHASE2 Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Compares treatment options for Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Official title Dalpicilib Plus Cetuximab Compared With Cetuximab Alone in HPV-negative, Anti-PD-1-resistant R/M HNSCC

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06935188

What this study is testing

What is Dalpicilib combined with cetuximab?

Dalpicilib combined with cetuximab is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for recurrent/metastatic 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 study is a single center, randomized controlled, prospective phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab combined with dalpicilib compared to cetuximab monotherapy in patients with HPV-negative, anti-PD-1-resistant recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The participants would receive cetuximab combined with dalpicilib or cetuximab monotherapy until termination criteria are met.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
