  • Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of a primary OHNSCC with no radiological evidence of metastatic disease is acceptable. Patients with bone or cartilage invasion and any T or N stage are acceptable.
  • Patients with oral cavity primaries will be managed using conventional transoral or transcervical techniques; oropharynx or hypopharynx tumor will be managed with transoral robotic surgery; and larynx tumors (T3/T4 with thyroid cartilage invasion) will be managed by either total laryngectomy or larynx preservation surgery.

About this study

Official title: Phase Ib Study of a Monoclonal Antibody to OX40 (MEDI6469) Administered Prior to Definitive Surgical Resection Patients With Locoregionally Advanced, Oral Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the anti-OX40 antibody, MEDI6469, given prior to surgery in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

This phase Ib clinical trial uses MEDI6469 at various dose intervals prior to definitive surgical resection of patients with stage III and IV Oral Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OHNSCC) with the primary objective of determining the safety and feasibility of preoperative MEDI6469 administration. In addition, tumor tissue and peripheral blood will be obtained for exploratory immunologic end points including measurements of tumor infiltrating immune cell populations based on flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry as well as circulating immunological parameters that may correlate with changes induced by MEDI6469 administration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Anti-OX40 antibody administrationDrug

    Also called MEDI6469

    Anti-OX40 antibody administration at 0.4 mg/kg IV x 3 doses given on Days 1, 3 or 4, and 5 or 6 of study

  • Surgical ResectionProcedure or surgery

    Surgical Resection of Tumor

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and feasibility of definitive surgical resection for locoregionally advanced OHNSCC following MEDI6469 administration

    Patients will be seen in clinic 7 times over 55 days to identify any possible side effects or complications thought to be related to the study drug to help identify the optimal treatment schedule.

    Measured: 55 Days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunologic phenotypes of lymphocyte subsets

    An uninvolved tumor-draining lymph node, primary tumor, and metastatic lymph nodes will be obtained during surgery, and peripheral blood will be collected 7 times over 55 days to identify the composition and immunologic phenotypes of lymphocyte subsets. This will also be compared to historical controls.

    Measured: 55 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Anti-OX40 antibody administration and Surgical Resection in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Providence Health & Services at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and feasibility of definitive surgical resection for locoregionally advanced OHNSCC following MEDI6469 administration (time frame: 55 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02274155, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Feb 2024.
