Documented progression of measurable disease as per the RECIST (Appendix 1); Nota Bene: in case of a single metastatic lesion, the tumor size must be > 20mm to allow tumor biopsy. 7.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. History of another primary malignancy except for • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease =5 years before the first dose of IP and of low potential risk for recurrence • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease • Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease 2. Prior anticancer therapy in metastatic or recurrent setting. In case patient received neoadjuvant or adjuvant anti-cancer treatment, it must have been completed for at least 6 months prior to study drugs initiation and patient must have no unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade =2 with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo and laboratory values defined as inclusion criteria. Patients with Grade =2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the Study Physician. Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab may be included only after consultation with the Study Physician. 3. Patient whom disease progressed within 6 months after the start date of the previous chemotherapy (faster progressors) 4. Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab. 5. Symptomatic or active leptomeningial or parenchymal brain metastases.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to determine the efficacy and safety of a combination of Durvalumab with the Carboplatin/Paclitaxel as first line treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic SCCHN not eligible to standard chemotherapy.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives will be to determine the following in the whole study population (tolerance study and both cohorts in phase II) : • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) • Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) • Overall survival (OS) • Objective Response Rate (ORR) • Best Response Rate (BRR) • Duration of response • Quality of life • The tolerance profile ;Primary end point(s): Feasibility will be determined as the onset of limiting adverse events before the end of the first cycle of chemotherapy. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) • Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) • Overall survival (OS) • Objective Response Rate (ORR) • Best Response Rate (BRR) • Duration of response • Quality of life • The tolerance profile;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Time from the date of the first study drug administration to the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause; • Time from the date of inclusion to the date of permanent study treatment discontinuation; • Patients with a best overall response of Complete Response or Partial Response; • Patients who achieve a best response of CR, PR, SD or PD; • Date of first documented response (CR or PR) to the date of the first documented subsequent progression or death due to any cause; • EORTC QLQ-C30 and the QLQ-H&N35 module; • Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE), Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and death assessed according to the NCI-CTC AE version 5.
