Summary

This is an open-label, randomized, prospective, multicenter phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy of cetuximab with either pembrolizumab or finotonlimab, alongside chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment, compared with pembrolizumab or finotonlimab with chemotherapy for R/M HNSCC.

Conditions

  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck

Interventions

DRUG

cetuximab+PD-1 mAb(Pembrolizumab/Finotonlimab)+chemotherapy

Cetuximab: 400 mg/m2 initial dose followed by 250 mg/m2 (weekly), iv, until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or the subject voluntarily requests to discontinue the trial treatment. Pembrolizumab or Finotonlimab：200mg, iv, administered on Day 1, Q3W, until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or the subject voluntarily requests to discontinue the trial treatment. Nab-paclitaxel: 260 mg/m², iv over 30 minutes, administered on Day 1, Q3W, for a maximum of 6 cycles. Cisplatin: 75 mg/m², iv (hydration), administered on Day 1, repeated Q3W (if cisplatin-related non-hematological toxicity occurs, treatment may switch to carboplatin area under the curve(AUC)=5; if cisplatin intolerant patients, carboplatin(AUC=5) could be used), for a maximum of 6 cycles.

DRUG

PD-1 mAb (Pembrolizumab/Finotonlimab) + chemothearpy
