Clinical Trial Summary

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab have been recently approved for the treatment of recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer (HNSCC). However, only a minority of patients respond to therapy. From the clinical point of view the optimal management of patients progressing on or after CPI therapy is still a challenge. Retrospective analysis showed that HNSCC patients, who progressed on/after CPI, demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of up to 30% subsequent to chemotherapy +/- cetuximab treatment. It is the aim of this study to evaluate if paclitaxel plus cetuximab after first line pembrolizumab failure is an effective salvage therapy in 50 R/M HNSCC patients. The primary endpoint is ORR according to RECIST V 1.1.
