Avelumab, Cetuximab, and Palbociclib in Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03498378
Lead Sponsor
Kathryn Gold
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to find out if the study drugs Avelumab, Cetuximab, and Palbociclib will slow or stop your cancer from getting worse, and whether it causes side effects. The second purpose is to measure whether your cancer responds to the study drugs Avelumab, Cetuximab, and Palbociclib. The study drugs Avelumab, Cetuximab, and Palbociclib are types of drugs called a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are made to recognize, target, and bind to specific proteins on cells the building blocks making up your tissues.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label phase I trial with a 3+3 dose escalation design. All patients will receive avelumab, cetuximab, and palbociclib. This study will enroll patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma not amenable to curative intent therapy.

Treatment will be administered in 28 day cycles with a pre-defined dose escalation schedule.
