Brief Summary
This is a biomarker-driven trial that will enroll patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck progressing after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Based on potential biomarkers and molecular alterations identified in the biopsy from the central platform, patients will be allocated in different cohorts. There will be biomarker-positive patient cohorts and immunotherapy cohorts.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically confirmed recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx not amenable to curative treatment.
- At least one measurable lesion by MRI or CT-scan according to RECIST 1.1, evaluated within 2 weeks prior to registration. Such lesion must not have been previously irradiated; if the measurable lesion(s) have been irradiated, clear progression must be documented.
- Progressive disease after first line platinum-based chemotherapy with or without cetuximab given as palliative treatment or progressive disease within 1 year if platinum-based chemotherapy was given as a part of the multimodal curative treatment. Patients pre-treated with anti-PD1/anti-PDL1 are allowed.
- ECOG performance status 0 -1 with a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Tumor core biopsy from any accessible tumor at the recurrent or metastatic site available for central testing.
- Patients must have adequate organ function, evaluated within 14 days prior to cohort allocation:
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/100 ml,
- Neutrophils ≥ 1,500/mm3,
- Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3,
- Total bilirubin \<1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (\< 3 times the upper limit of normal for Gilbert's disease),
- Serum ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN,
- Adequate renal function measured by:
- Estimated creatinine clearance ≥45ml using Cockcroft and Gault formula or Creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) must be within the normal ranges as per institution's standard. A window of 5% is allowed.
- Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy are allowed to participate as long as the PT/INR values are within the expected target range of their current dose.
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Unresolved and significant toxicity CTCAE version 4.03 grade ≥ 2 from previous anticancer therapy other than alopecia.
- History of any of the following cardiovascular conditions within 6 months prior to registration:
- myocardial infarction,
- severe/unstable angina,
- ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of CTCAE version 4.03 Grade 2 or more,
- atrial fibrillation of any grade,
- coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft,
- symptomatic congestive heart failure according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or Class IV,
- significant active cardiac disease including uncontrolled high blood pressure defined as systolic ≥150 and diastolic ≥100.
- cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack
- thromboembolic events like symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
- Nasopharynx and sino-nasal tumor.
- Surgery or investigational drugs or chemotherapy or other anticancer therapy within 3 weeks before cohort allocationor or for investigational drugs, within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is shorter. Participant must have recovered from any surgical procedure. Curative radiation therapy (60-70 Gy) within 6 weeks of cohort allocation. Palliative radiation therapy (e.g. 8 Gy on a painful lesion) will be allowed.
- Known untreated and uncontrolled brain metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
