Purpose

This study will assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of duvelisib in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Detailed Description

      This is a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label Phase 1b/2 study designed to evaluate
      safety and tolerability and preliminary efficacy of duvelisib in combination with
      pembrolizumab in subjects with R/M HNSCC who are eligible for pembrolizumab monotherapy based
      on the current pembrolizumab prescribing information.

(Cycle 1 will be 4 weeks consisting of the 1-week duvelisib monotherapy lead-in period followed by 1 dose of pembrolizumab in combination with 3 additional weeks of continuous dosing of duvelisib. Subsequent cycles will be 3 weeks .) Stage 2: Duvelisib BID + pembrolizumab q3w in 3 week cycles.
