Summary

The aim of this study is to potentiate adaptive immunity to enhance the anti-tumor activity of anti-PD1 antibody by the addition of anti-CTLA4 antibody or anti-LAG3 antibody (relatlimab) given in subjects with resectable locally advanced HNSCC prior to surgical resection.

Conditions

  • Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

Interventions

DRUG

Nivolumab

A fully human anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody checkpoint inhibitor, that blocks a signal that prevents activated T cells from attacking the cancer cells.

DRUG

Relatlimab

A monoclonal antibody with anti-Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) (immune checkpoint receptor protein found on the cell surface) activity.

DRUG

Ipilimumab

A monoclonal anitibody that targets CTLA-4, a protein receptor, that down regulates the immune system.
