Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with recurrent or metastatic, PD-L1-positive squamous cancer of the oral cavity, hypopharynx, larynx or HPV-negative oropharynx. No systemic treatment for recurrence or metastasis is allowed; curative local treatment must be unsuitable.

The idea: ficerafusp targets EGFR and TGF-beta; pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 immune suppression. Everyone starts twelve weeks of weekly ficerafusp plus pembrolizumab every three weeks. Patients without progression then enter randomized maintenance with weekly or three-weekly ficerafusp, continuing pembrolizumab. Researchers assess progression-free survival.

This phase 2 study plans 160 patients. Bicara Therapeutics sponsors seven recruiting US sites.
