NCT06385080

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and preliminary efficacy of amivantamab monotherapy, amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab, amivantamab in addition to paclitaxel and amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab and carboplatin in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. The study will also confirm the recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2CD) for amivantamab in addition to paclitaxel. The safety and preliminary efficacy of amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab will also be determined in perioperative (before and after surgery) setting in participants with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Cohorts 1, 2, 3B, 4 and 5: Objective Response Rate

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), as defined by investigator assessment using Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    2 years and 2 months

  • Cohort 3A: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    Number of participants with DLTs will be reported. A DLT is defined as any of the following: treatment delay of greater than (\>) 28 days due to unresolved toxicity, non-hematologic toxicity of Grade 3 or higher, hematologic toxicity of Grade 4 neutropenia persisting for \>7 days or Grade 3 or higher thrombocytopenia with clinically significant bleeding or neutropenic fever of any grade, and liver enzyme elevation.

    Up to 21 days

  • Cohort 3A: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) as a Measure of Severity

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/ biological agent under study. TEAEs are defined as AEs with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment. Severity of TEAEs will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale ranges from Grade 1 (mild) to Grade 5 (death). Grade 1= mild, Grade 2= moderate, Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening, and Grade 5= death related to adverse event.

    2 years and 1 month
