Conditions

HNSCC

Brief summary

This is a single-arm, phase Ib study involving HNSCC patients who had received first-line treatment with either PD-1 combined with platinum-based drugs or PD-1 monotherapy. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Finotonlimab in combination with Stapokibart in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic HNSCC patients.

Detailed description

This study includes a total of 10 participants. Firstly, five participants will be enrolled to receive the combination therapy regimen. Safety observations will be conducted within 30 days after the third participant completes the third cycle of Stapokibart and Finotonlimab combination therapy. Based on the collected trial data, the investigators will evaluate and provide a safety report. If a major safety event or other factor affecting participant safety was identified, the treatment regimen will be re-evaluated before proceeding with further enrollment. Adjustments to administration frequency, dosage, and sample size can be made, or the trial can be terminated; If no safety concerns are identified, the remaining five participants will be enrolled according to the study protocol.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTStapokibart and Finotonlimab

Receive the combination therapy with Stapokibart and Finotonlimab. Stapokibart, 600mg for the first cycle, 300mg for the second and subsequent cycles, administered subcutaneously every 3 weeks; Finotonlimab 200mg, administered intravenously every 3 weeks. Treatment with Stapokibart in combination with Finotonlimab was continued until confirmed disease progression occurs according to the RECIST 1.1 imaging criteria (if the researcher determines that the subject can benefit from continuing PD-1 drug treatment, and the subject can tolerate the study treatment and agree, PD-1 drug can be continued and recorded in the study records), unacceptable toxic side effects, initiation of new anti-tumor treatment, withdrawal from the study or death (whichever occurs first), or reaching a maximum treatment period of 2 years.
