Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase II study for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have residual disease following definitive therapy with radiation (with or without systemic therapy). Patients must be diagnosed with residual disease within 24 weeks of completion of radiation therapy. Residual disease must be biopsy proven before the patient can consent to the trial, and can be either from lymph nodes in the neck, or from the primary tumor site. Prior to beginning study therapy patients are evaluated by an ENT to determine if they have disease amenable to surgical resection. Both resectable and unresectable patients will be eligible for participation in the study.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective is to determine the overall response to pembrolizumab for patients with residual disease following radiation with or without systemic therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Hypothesis: The use of pembrolizumab in patients with residual disease following radiation with or without systemic therapy will lead to an enhanced overall response rate due to treatment-related priming of the immune response. When initially registered, the study used a follow up assessment of 12 weeks. However, the actual study aims for the primary and secondary outcomes were updated to 168 weeks. The primary completion date was also updated to reflect the primary outcome timeline. Following results entry and QC review, the Overall Response Rate at 168 weeks secondary outcome, defined as a composite of 2 measures, was removed as it was reported in separate outcomes. ;
