Combination Therapy With NC-6004 and Pembrolizumab in Head and Neck Cancer Subjects Who Have Failed Platinum Regimen

Phase 2
Conditions
SCCHN
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03771820
Lead Sponsor
NanoCarrier Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

In Phase IIa, dose-escalation study to determine the optimum tolerated dose and a recommended Phase IIb (RPIIb) dose in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have failed platinum or a platinum containing regimen.

In Phase IIb, randomized control study between NC-6004 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in the same subject population as Part 1 at the RPIIb dose identified in PIIa.

GroupInterventionDescription
NC-6004 +pembrolizumabNC-6004NC-6004 should be administered to subjects once every 3 weeks. On Day 1 of each treatment cycle NC-6004 will be administered first followed by pembrolizumab. In phase IIa portion, NC-6004 dose goes up from 90 mg/m2 up to 135 mg/m2. In phase IIb portion, the dose should be the determined RPII dose in phase IIa portion.
