Brief Summary:
A Phase 2 Study of evorpacept (ALX148) in Combination With pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Head and Neck Cancer Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Drug: evorpacept Drug: pembrolizumab Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This is a open-label, randomized phase 2 multi-center study of the anti-tumor efficacy of evorpacept (ALX148) + pembrolizumab and of pembrolizumab alone in patients with metastatic or unresectable, recurrent HNSCC that is PD-L1 positive (CPS ≥1 by an FDA-approved test) and who have not yet been treated for their advanced disease. The study comprises an initial safety lead-in cohort followed by a randomized portion.
