Brief Title: Penpulimab in Combination With Cetuximab as First-line Treatment in R/M SCCHN
Official Title: An Exploratory Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Penpulimab in Combination With Cetuximab as First-line Treatment in Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (R/MSCCHN)
Study ID: NCT05260671
Brief Summary: This trial is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm exploratory clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Penpulimab injection combined with cetuximab in the first-line treatment of recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Detailed Description: Based on the apparent efficacy and favorable safety profile of previous PD-1 and cetuximab combination therapy, Penpulimab (PD-1 antibody) combined with cetuximab in the first-line treatment of patients with recurrent/metastatic SCCHN are used to assess the efficacy and safety of the regimen. Among them, Penpulimab (PD-1 antibody) is approved for adult patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma who have received at least second-line systemic chemotherapy in China. Cetuximab is approved in China for first-line treatment of recurrent/metastatic SCCHN in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs platinum and fluorouracil. This study plans to enroll 48 patients with untreated recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who will receive Penpulimab injection combined with cetuximab. Cetuximab 500 mg/m2 without PD-1 drugs for 14 days prior to Cycle 1. Cetuximab Injection 500 mg/m2 and Penpulimab Injection 200 mg are intravenously infused on Day 1 (D1) of Cycle 1, with 2 weeks (14 days) as a cycle. Penpulimab will be administered for no more than 96 weeks (48 cycles), and cetuximab will be administered until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal decision by the subject.
