• Histologically-confirmed HNSCC with progression on or after chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
• Have at least 1 measurable lesion of ≥ 1.5 cm.
• Must have a tumor biopsy specimen following the conclusion of the most recent anticancer treatment. If an historic specimen is not available, the subject must be willing to undergo a biopsy during the screening period.
• Must be willing to provide blood samples and, if considered safe by the Investigator, a tumor biopsy specimen at 8 weeks after the start of treatment.
• Ability to attend required study visits and return for adequate follow-up, as required by this protocol.
• Agreement to practice effective contraception for female subjects of child-bearing potential and non-sterile males. Female subjects of child-bearing potential must agree to use effective contraception for up to 1 year after completion of therapy, and non-sterile male subjects must agree to use a condom for up to 4 months after treatment.

You may not qualify if:

• History of persistent grade 2 or higher (CTCAE Version 4.03) hematologic toxicity resulting from previous therapy.
• History of other active malignancies or brain metastasis except for controlled basal cell carcinoma; prior history of in situ cancer (eg, breast, melanoma, and cervical); prior history of prostate cancer that is not under active systemic treatment (except hormonal therapy) and with undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (\< 0.2 ng/mL); and bulky (≥ 1.5 cm) disease with metastasis in the central hilar area of the chest and involving the pulmonary vasculature. Subjects with a history of another malignancy must have \> 5 years without evidence of disease.
• and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Vaccine NantCell, Inc. Clinical Trial Protocol: QUILT-3.047
• Serious uncontrolled concomitant disease that would contraindicate the use of the investigational drug used in this study or that would put the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.
• Systemic autoimmune disease (eg, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison's disease, and autoimmune disease associated with lymphoma).
• History of organ transplant requiring immunosuppression.
• History of or active inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
• Requires whole blood transfusion to meet eligibility criteria.
• Inadequate organ function, evidenced by the following laboratory results:
• White blood cell (WBC) count \< 3,500 cells/mm3
• Absolute neutrophil count \< 1,500 cells/mm3.
• Platelet count \< 100,000 cells/mm3.
• Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL.
• Total bilirubin greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN; unless the subject has documented Gilbert's syndrome).
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST \[SGOT\]) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT \[SGPT\]) \> 2.5 × ULN (\> 5 × ULN in subjects with liver metastases).
