Pembrolizumab combinado con cetuximab para el tratamiento del carcinoma de células escamosas de cabeza y cuello recurrente/metastásico
Un ensayo de fase II abierto, no aleatorizado, de múltiples brazos para evaluar la eficacia de pembrolizumab combinado con cetuximab en pacientes con carcinoma de células escamosas de cabeza y cuello recurrente/metastásico (HNSCC)
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, multi-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with pembrolizumab and cetuximab for patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC. There will be four patient cohorts, including a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-naïve, cetuximab-naïve arm (Cohort 1), a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-refractory, cetuximab-naïve arm (Cohort 2), a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-refractory, cetuximab-refractory arm (Cohort 3), and a cutaneous HNSCC arm (Cohort 4). A total of 83 patients (33 in Cohort 1, 25 in Cohort 2, 15 in Cohort 3, and 10 in Cohort 4) will be eligible to enroll. Patients will be enrolled at 4 sites: UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, UC Los Angeles Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, and University of Washington Siteman Cancer Center.

Experimental: Cohort 1
PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-naïve, cetuximab-naïve Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®): Pembrolizumab is administered on an outpatient basis. 200 mg pembrolizumab will be administered as a 30 minute (-5 min/+10 min) intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks. Cetuximab (Erbitux®): The initial cetuximab dose of 400mg/m2 is administered on Cycle 1, Day 1 as a 120-minute IV infusion (maximum infusion rate 10mg/min).1 Subsequent weekly cetuximab doses of 250mg/m2 are administered as 60-minute IV infusions (maximum infusion rate 10mg/min). |
Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®; MK-3475) is a potent and highly selective humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) of the immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)/kappa isotype designed to directly block the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2). This blockade enhances functional activity of the target lymphocytes to facilitate tumor regression and ultimately immune rejection. Cetuximab (Erbitux®) binds specifically to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on both normal and tumor cells, and competitively inhibits the binding of EGF and other ligands, such as transforming growth factor-alpha. Cetuximab can mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), with in vitro assays and in vivo animal studies demonstrating that cetuximab inhibits the growth and survival of tumor cells expressing EGFR.
