Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine the clinical performance of UV1 vaccination as add on to standard pembrolizumab treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1 positive (CPS \>=1) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Secondary objectives are to determine the efficacy in terms of overall survival ,objective response rate and duration of response. Moreover, this study will explore patient subgroups most likely deriving benefit from a targeted immunotherapy approach combining a checkpoint inhibitor with a cancer vaccine and help to establish liquid biopsy tumor monitoring in HNSCC.
