简要总结
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies worldwide, and an increasing incidence has been documented over the past decades. Despite optimal initial approach, which can be curative in the majority of cases, a proportion of patients present with locally advanced or unresectable disease, leading to significant morbidity. In addition, metastases of cSCC may affect 2 to 5% of individuals diagnosed with this disease. In the setting of advanced cSCC, no standard systemic treatment has been established, and treatment options are frequently adapted from those applied to squamous cell carcinoma arising from other sites, based on a low level of evidence and often with short-lived benefits.
cSCC are potentially immunogenic neoplasms with an unmet need for therapeutic options, having sun exposure and chronic inflammation as the most significant risk factors. Using the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab to treat patients with cSCC and planned scientific correlates, investigators believe that the safety and efficacy of immune activating therapy for this disease can be assessed.
This is a multi-center, Simon two-stage, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab for systemic-treatment-naïve patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced cSCC.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, as assessed by the best objective response rate (complete response + partial response) at 24 weeks according to RECIST criteria, of nivolumab in patients with advanced cSCC. Secondary objectives are to assess the safety/tolerability of the treatment, to determine the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates at 24 weeks, and to evaluate the objective response rate as assessed by immune-related response criteria (irRC). Treatment will be given every 14 days until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent/patient decision. If the patient continues to benefit from treatment with nivolumab, treatment will be continued for up to 12 months. Patients will be reassessed at week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter until week 52, and then as per discretion of the treating investigator. A tumor biopsy will be performed before treatment initiation, unless contraindicated and optional biopsies will be performed at week 13 and following disease progression. Serial blood samples will be obtained at baseline, during, and after treatment.

- •Male and female patients with reproductive potential must use an approved contraceptive method if appropriate (eg, intrauterine device [IUD], birth control pills, or barrier device) during and for 5 months (females) or 7 months (males) after the study. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 30 days prior to study enrollment. Men of fathering potential must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid conception throughout the study and for 7 months following the last dose of study drug
