Key exclusions include PD-L1 CPS 0, significant recent bleeding/thromboembolism, uncontrolled hypertension, active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy, and recent major surgery.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05980000

A Phase Ib Study of Multivalent Autophagosome Vaccine, With or Without GITR Agonist, With Sequenced Checkpoint Inhibition (Anti-PD-1) - Immunotherapy Trio in Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC (ECOG 0–2; controlled CNS mets allowed) receive an investigational multivalent autophagosome vaccine (DPV-001; off‑the‑shelf allogeneic microvesicle vaccine delivering broad tumor antigens to prime dendritic cells/T‑cell responses) followed by sequenced PD‑1 blockade (retifanlimab); a closed arm also tested addition of a GITR agonist (INCAGN01876) to enhance effector T cells and reduce Treg suppression. Excludes active autoimmune disease requiring significant immunosuppression; mandatory biopsies are required.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04470024

A Phase II Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Circulating Tumor DNA Response-Adaptive Pulsed Chemotherapy in Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The SINERGY Trial (Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck Response-Guided Therapy)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with untreated recurrent/metastatic HNSCC (ECOG 0–1, measurable disease, tissue for PD-L1) receive pembrolizumab (anti–PD‑1) alone or with ctDNA-guided, response-adaptive pulsed carboplatin/paclitaxel, with subsequent therapy intensity adjusted based on ctDNA dynamics. Excludes prior PD‑1 therapy, active autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppression, brain mets, and baseline non-measurable ctDNA.
