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.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Duvelisib BID + Pembrolizumab q3w | Experimental | Stage 1: Duvelisib BID for 1 week followed by combination therapy with duvelisib BID + pembrolizumab q3w. (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. | |
