Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To compare progression free survival (PFS) as determined by independent radiology committee (IRC), and overall survival (OS) of nivolumab combined with ipilimumab to Extreme regimen as first line treatment in subjects with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN.;Secondary Objective: -To compare the objective response rate (ORR), as determined by IRC<br>-To compare time to symptom deterioration (TTSD) as assessed using the 10-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head & Neck (FACT-HN) Symptom Index (FHNSI-10)<br>-To evaluate whether PD-L1 expression is a predictive biomarker for ORR, PFS and OS.;Primary end point(s): - Overall survival (OS) of nivolumab and ipilimumab versus Extreme regimen<br>-Progression-free survival (PFS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - OS: approximately 36 months<br>- PFS: approximately 36 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): - Objective response rate (ORR)<br>- Assess meaningful worsening of symptoms<br>- Evaluate PD-L1 expression as a predictive biomarker for efficacy;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - ORR: approximately 36 months<br>- worsening of symptoms: approximately 36 months<br>- PDL1 expression: approximately 36 months
