Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety, as assessed by incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT), of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).


Clinical Trial Description

This is a phase 1b/3, multicenter, clinical trial conducted in 2 parts (phase 1b and phase 3). In phase 1b talimogene laherparepvec is to be administered in combination with pembrolizumab to adults with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN). Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is to be evaluated based on the first 18 DLT-evaluable participants. An expansion cohort of up to an additional 22 treated patients could be enrolled to further evaluate the safety and to estimate the efficacy of the combination of talimogene laherparepvec with pembrolizumab and to support a decision to initiate the phase 3 part of the study. The phase 3 part of the study was designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, as assessed by overall survival, of treatment with talimogene laherparepvec with pembrolizumab versus placebo with pembrolizumab in adults with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN, however, a decision was made not to proceed to the phase 3 part of the study. ;
