Brief Title: Immunotherapy and SBRT for Metastatic Head and Neck Carcinomas
Official Title: Phase I/II of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) + Tremelimumab + Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Metastatic Head and Neck Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT03283605
Brief Summary: Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway had previously been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to metastatic lesions causes localized cancer cell killing and the release of cancer cell debris, which could stimulate the immune system in the presence of immunotherapy. The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability and efficacy of combining Durvalumab (MEDI4736), Tremelimumab and SBRT in controlling cancer progression. SBRT will be administered to patients while they are receiving Durvalumab and Tremelimumab.
