Description:
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the response rate to ALKS 4230 in
combination with pembrolizumab in patients with HNSCC who have previously received
anti-PD-(L)1 therapy but who have not achieved a CR.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have histologically or cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis of
non-cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region that is locally
advanced and/or recurrent and no longer amenable to local surgical or radiation
therapy and/or with evidence of distant metastatic disease
- Patients must have had anti-PD-(L)1 therapy as the most recent systemic therapy with
either stable disease or partial response on prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, or
progressive disease on prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy
- Patients must have disease that is measurable by RECIST v1.1
- Patients must be willing to provide tumor tissue biopsy
- Patients must demonstrate adequate organ function
- Female patients of childbearing potential should have a negative pregnancy test within
72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication
- Patients must agree to follow contraceptive requirements defined in the protocol
- Additional criteria apply
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children
- Patient has an active major infection requiring systemic therapy within 1 week of
starting study drug
- Patient has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate,
provided that they are stable, have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases,
and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to study drug
- Patient has hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab, ALKS 4230, or any of their excipients
- Patient has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy
(inhaled or topical steroids and steroid replacement at physiologic doses are
allowable)
- Patient has prior Grade ≥3 immune-related toxicities requiring systemic
immunosuppressant treatment that were attributable or possibly attributable to PD-1
immune checkpoint blockade
- Patient has active tuberculosis or known active infection with hepatitis B or
hepatitis C
- Patient has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders or a social situation that
would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study
- Additional criteria apply

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Proportion of patients with objective evidence of improvement to partial response among those patients who had stable disease at baseline on prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy |
Time Frame: | From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 12 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Response will be based on investigator review of radiographic and/or photographic images and RECIST criteria v1.1 |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Duration of response in subjects with CR or PR |
Time Frame: | Time from the first documentation of complete response or partial response, measured approximately every 6 weeks, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Progression-free survival (PFS) |
Time Frame: | Time from first dose of study drug to the time of first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Time to progression |
Time Frame: | Time from first dose of study drug to the time of first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to disease progression (estimated up to 24 months) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Rate of non-progression (ie, disease control rate) at 6 months |
Time Frame: | Assessed PFS at 6 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Overall survival |
Time Frame: | Time from first dose of study drug to the time of death (estimated up to 24 months) |
