Testing the Use of Investigational Drugs Atezolizumab and/or Bevacizumab With or Without Standard Chemotherapy in the Second-Line Treatment of Advanced-Stage Head and Neck Cancers

April 3, 2024 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

A Phase II/III Trial of Chemotherapy + Cetuximab vs Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab vs Atezolizumab + Bevacizumab Following Progression on Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Cancers

This phase II/III compares the standard therapy (chemotherapy plus cetuximab) versus adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy, versus combination of just bevacizumab and atezolizumab in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic or advanced stage) or has come back after prior treatment (recurrent). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of cancer cells. This may help keep cancer cells from growing. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of chemotherapy medications known as platinum-containing compounds. They work by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Docetaxel is in a class of chemotherapy medications called taxanes. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. The addition of bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy or combination therapy with bevacizumab and atezolizumab may be better than standard chemotherapy plus cetuximab in treating patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancers.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) of patients treated with chemotherapy plus cetuximab, chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, and atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. (Phase II) II. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients treated with chemotherapy plus cetuximab to the superior arm from the phase II portion of the protocol. (Phase III)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the OS for the subset of patients with high PD-L1 expression, defined as combined positive score (CPS) >= 20% on all arms of treatment.

II. To evaluate the toxicity of each arm of treatment.

IMAGING OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the correlation between fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) neck imaging biomarkers (maximum standard uptake value [SUVmax], metabolic tumor volume [MTV], total lesion glycolysis [TLG], tumor volume) and expression of PD-L1 expression (Low versus high, defined as CPS < 20 versus CPS >= 20).

II. To determine if 18FDG-PET/CT and CT neck imaging biomarkers at baseline will predict treatment response at nine to twelve weeks post the initiation of treatment, PFS, and OS.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To establish the correlation between 18F-FDG PET and CT neck radiomics features and PD-L1 expressions (Low versus high - defined as CPS < 20 versus CPS >= 20).

OUTLINE: This is a randomized phase II trial followed by a randomized phase III trial.

PHASE II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive cetuximab intravenously (IV) over 60-120 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each cycle, and cisplatin IV or carboplatin IV on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive cetuximab IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 or days 1 and 15 of each cycle of maintenance therapy. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT scan, a PET scan, and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the trial. Patients may undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening.

ARM B: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each cycle, and cisplatin IV or carboplatin IV on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive bevacizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle of maintenance therapy. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT scan, a PET scan, and/or MRI throughout the trial. Patients may undergo ECHO during screening.

ARM C: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 and atezolizumab over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT scan, a PET scan, and/or MRI throughout the trial. Patients may undergo ECHO during screening.

PHASE III: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each cycle, and cisplatin IV or carboplatin IV on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive cetuximab IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 or days 1 and 15 of each cycle of maintenance therapy. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT scan, a PET scan, and/or MRI throughout the trial. Patients may undergo ECHO during screening.

ARM B: Patients receive treatment as in Arm B or C above based on results of the Phase II trial.

Patients undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from randomization and every 6 months if patient is 2-5 years from randomization.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must have histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) (excluding SCC of salivary glands, Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]-associated nasopharynx and skin)
  • Patient must have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1. Measurements must be obtained within 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • Patient must be >= 18 years of age
  • Patient must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
  • Patient must have disease progression after prior therapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in the first-line setting for recurrent/metastatic disease. Patient must have received first-line immune checkpoint inhibition for at least 6 weeks. Patients who have recurred or progressed within 12 weeks of immune checkpoint inhibition administered in the definitive setting for locally advanced disease (for e.g., in the context of a clinical trial) will also be eligible if local therapies are not feasible
  • Prior combination immunotherapies are permitted, but patient must not have had prior antiangiogenic treatment (e.g., bevacizumab, ziv-aflibercept, ramucirumab, sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, regorafenib, lenvatinib, etc.). Patient must have completed any prior investigational therapy at least 28 days prior to randomization.

NOTE: Patients who received platinum/taxanes in the locally-advanced or recurrent/metastatic setting and did not progress for at least 4 months thereafter, will be eligible for this study. Patients who received cetuximab in the locally-advanced setting and did not progress for at least 4 months thereafter, will also be eligible for this study

  • Patient must not have a history of >= grade 3 immune-related adverse event on prior ICI therapy (except those that could be managed with steroids [e.g., dermatologic toxicity, asymptomatic elevation of pancreatic enzymes, etc.]) and ICI could eventually be resumed. Patients who developed grade 3 endocrinopathies but are now stable on hormone supplementation and/or a daily prednisone dose of =< 10 mg (or equivalent doses of another glucocorticoid), will be permitted on this trial
  • Patient must not have a history of PD-1 inhibitor-induced hyper-progression, defined as 100% increase in tumor burden within 8 weeks (or 50% within 4 weeks) of initiating ICI and associated with clinical deterioration
  • Patient must not have any of the following criteria due to the possibility of increased risk for tumor bleeding with bevacizumab therapy:

    • Prior carotid bleeding,
    • Tumors that invade major vessels (e.g., the carotid) as shown unequivocally by imaging studies,
    • Central (e.g., within 2 cm from the hilum) lung metastases that are cavitary as shown unequivocally by imaging studies,
    • Any prior history of bleeding related to the current head and neck cancer,
    • History of gross hemoptysis (bright red blood of 1/2 teaspoon or more per episode of coughing) within 3 months prior to randomization
  • Patient must not have uncontrolled hypertension, a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy, or a history of grade 4 thromboembolism

The use of anti-platelet agents [e.g., dipyridamole (Persantine), ticlopidine (Ticlid), clopidogrel (Plavix)] is allowed only if patient is not receiving concurrent aspirin or NSAID's known to inhibit platelet function.
  • Patient must have PD-L1 expression >= 1% by combined positive score (CPS) in the tumor and/or immune cells

    • NOTE: Enrolling centers should test for PD-L1 CPS preferably using the SP263 assay. Where this is not feasible, using their preferred Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified or similar assay will be accepted. It is preferred for standard of care (SOC) PD-L1 assessments to be done on post-first line ICI samples if available, but SOC PD-L1 assessments on pre-ICI samples will be accepted for eligibility

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression free survival (PFS) (Phase II)
Time Frame: Time from treatment initiation until disease progression or death, assessed up to 5 years from randomization
Time from treatment initiation until disease progression or death, assessed up to 5 years from randomization
Overall survival (OS) (Phase III)
Time Frame: Time from treatment initiation until death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years from randomization
Will be compared using a stratified log rank test.
Time from treatment initiation until death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years from randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prediction of treatment response
Time Frame: Baseline up to 12 weeks
Determined by 18FDG-PET/CT and CT neck imaging biomarkers. To determine if 18FDG-PET/CT and CT neck imaging biomarkers at baseline will predict treatment response at nine to twelve weeks post-treatment, PFS, and OS Logistic regression model will be fit to assess the association of the 18F -FDG PET /CT imaging biomarkers (e.g., SUVmax, MTV, TLG, tumor heterogeneity, tumor volume) with binary treatment response at 9-12 weeks post treatment. Cox proportional hazards models will be fit to assess the association of 18F -FDG PET /CT imaging biomarkers with time-to-event outcomes (PFS or OS).
Baseline up to 12 weeks
OS in the subset of patients with high PD-L1 expression (Phase III)
Time Frame: Up to 5 years from randomization
The interaction of PD-L1 by treatment will also be evaluated in a Cox proportional hazards model.
Up to 5 years from randomization
Incidence of adverse events (Phase III)
Time Frame: Up to 30 days after completion of treatment
Up to 30 days after completion of treatment
Correlation between fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) neck imaging biomarkers
Time Frame: Up to 5 years from randomization
The two-sample t-test will be used to compare the difference of baseline 18F -FDG PET /CT imaging biomarkers (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax], metabolic tumor volume [MTV], total lesion glycolysis [TLG], tumor volume) between low and high expression of PD-L1.
Up to 5 years from randomization

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation between 18F-FDG PET and CT neck radiomics features and expression of PD-L1 expression
Time Frame: Up to 5 years from randomization
The imaging textural features from radiomics analysis will be associated with the dichotomized PD-L1 expressions. First, proper transformation will be applied to the textural features as needed to address the distribution skewness. Second, Pearson or Spearman rank correlations will be calculated between all pairs of textural features to identify highly correlated features. Third, to address overfitting and high collinearity, machine learning techniques (e.g., LASSO or XGBoost) will be employed for feature selection during the association analysis with PD-L1 expressions.
Up to 5 years from randomization
