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>Importance</h3> Dual blockade of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) may overcome immune checkpoint inhibition. It is unknown whether dual can potentiate antitumor activity without compromising safety in patients with recurrent or metastatic head neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) low no PD-L1 tumor expression. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess objective response rate durvalumab combined tremelimumab. <h3>Design, Setting,...
Patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) have a poor prognosis. The phase III KESTREL study evaluated the efficacy of durvalumab [programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody] without tremelimumab [cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibody], versus EXTREME regimen in patients R/M HNSCC.
Abstract Purpose: Biomarkers that predict response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) are needed. This retrospective study assessed tumor mutational burden (TMB) outcomes the phase II HAWK CONDOR III EAGLE studies of durvalumab with without tremelimumab platinum-resistant R/M HNSCC. Patients Methods: Tumor samples from HAWK/CONDOR (N = 153) blood 247) were analyzed for TMB. Associations survival evaluated tissue...
Abstract Background Selective biomarkers may improve outcomes in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) treated immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We investigated three independent for association efficacy the randomized, phase III KESTREL study (NCT02551159) of first-line durvalumab monotherapy plus tremelimumab versus EXTREME regimen: programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry, blood tumor mutational burden (bTMB) via...
6511 Background: In NSCLC, bTMB assessed from circulating tumor DNA shows promise as a predictive survival biomarker for immunotherapy, but its value in R/M HNSCC is uncertain. We evaluated predictor of HNSCC. Methods: EAGLE (NCT02369874) was randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial evaluating D (anti-PD-L1), or D+T (anti-CTLA-4), vs CT Patients (pts) with disease progression after platinum-based were randomized (1:1:1) to (10 mg/kg intravenous [IV] every 2 weeks [Q2W]), (20 IV Q4W) + T (1 Q4W...
<h3>Objectives</h3> In locally-advanced cervical cancer (LACC), platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been the standard- of-care treatment for >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. Tumor tissue samples pooled HAWK/CONDOR (n=153) plasma cell-free DNA (n=285)...

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...
