- Detailed Description
The goal of this FID-007 Randomized, Multicenter, Open-label clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of different dosing regimens of FID-007 in combination with Cetuximab in patients with recurrent or metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) based on objective response rate. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* To evaluate the efficacy of different dosing regimens of FID-007 in combination with Cetuximab in patients based on Best Overall Response (BOR), Duration of Response (DoR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), and Overall Survival (OS).
* To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of FID-007 and its metabolites (6-α-hydroxypaclitaxel and 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel) following administration of different dosing regimens of FID-007 in combination with Cetuximab in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC.
* To characterize the safety and tolerability of different dosing regimens of FID-007 in combination with Cetuximab in patients.
Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized to 1 of 2 arms of FID-007 with fixed-dose Cetuximab (starting from Cycle 2, 500 mg/m2 intravenous \[IV\] infusion every 2 weeks on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle). Patients will receive FID-007 via IV infusion over 30 minutes at their assigned dose on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Patients will continue to receive Cetuximab and FID-007 until they meet the study drug discontinuation criteria.

Blood clotting function
• International normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and activated partial thromboplastin time ≤1.5 × ULN (except patients who are receiving therapeutic anticoagulation and whose INR should be within the therapeutic range)
Renal function
•Calculated clearance (using the Cockroft-Gault formula) ≥40 mL/min/1.73 m2. Actual body weight should be used for calculating creatinine clearance. For patients with a body mass index >30 kg/m2, lean body weight should be used instead

- Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ≤3 × ULN
-

- EBV-positive nasopharyngeal cancer, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, or squamous cell carcinoma of the salivary gland or skin, based on the patient's medical history.
- Received >1 prior line of anticancer therapy for recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. All patients must be previously treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy. Patients treated with upfront combination chemo-immunotherapy followed by immunotherapy maintenance are considered to have received only 1 prior line of therapy. Chemotherapy given as part of treatment for locally advanced disease in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting is not considered a line of prior therapy for recurrent/metastatic disease. If the patient received prior treatment with Cetuximab, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel in combination with radiation in the locally advanced setting and no relapse within 6 months of treatment discontinuation, enrollment is permitted if the treating physician believes that retreatment with Cetuximab or a taxane is a clinically reasonable option. However, patients who received these agents for recurrent or metastatic disease will be excluded.
- Serious medical risk factors involving any of the major organ systems, or serious psychiatric disorders, that in the judgment of the investigator could compromise the patient's safety or the study data integrity.
- Preexisting sensory neuropathy of Grade >1 severity by NCI CTCAE version 5.0 criteria.

- Requirement of systemic steroids at daily doses >10 mg prednisone equivalent systemic exposure daily, including for control of symptoms.
- Use of any CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 inhibitor (eg, ketoconazole and other imidazole antifungals, erythromycin, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil, cimetidine, ritonavir, saquinavir, indinavir, and nelfinavir) or inducer (eg, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, efavirenz, and nevirapine) in the previous 14 days before the first dose of study drug until the last PK sample is obtained in the study.
