Targeting the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed ligand (PD-L1) axis has demonstrated clinical benefit in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). Combining immunotherapies targeting PD-L1 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) shown evidence of additive activity several tumor types. This phase III study evaluated efficacy durvalumab (an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody) or plus tremelimumab anti-CTLA-4 versus standard care (SoC) R/M HNSCC...

<h3>Objectives</h3> In locally-advanced cervical cancer (LACC), platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been the standard- of-care treatment for &gt;20 years. CALLA is first global Phase 3 study evaluating immune checkpoint inhibition (durvalumab) versus placebo in combination with and following CRT LACC (NCT03830866). <h3>Methods</h3> Newly-diagnosed, untreated patients (FIGO 2009 stages IB2-IIB node positive, IIIA-IVA any status) were randomized 1:1 to durvalumab (1500 mg IV) or Q4W, a...

Abstract Purpose: Understanding the mutational landscape of recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) is important in identifying biomarkers to determine which patients may benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Patients Methods: The HAWK (NCT02207530), CONDOR (NCT02319044), EAGLE (NCT02369874) studies evaluated R/M HNSCC treatment with durvalumab or durvalumab-tremelimumab.

Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), expressed on both tumor cells (TC) and tumor-associated immune (IC), has been shown to be a useful biomarker predictive of response anti-PD-L1 agents in certain types. In recurrent or metastatic head neck squamous carcinoma (R/M HNSCC), there is growing interest the role PD-L1 expression ICs, as well TCs, for predicting checkpoint inhibitors. Using pooled data from phase II HAWK CONDOR studies, we investigated association baseline with durvalumab...
