Phase I-II

A Phase 1b/2, Open-label Study of Amivantamab Monotherapy and Amivantamab in Addition to Standard of Care Therapeutic Agents in Participants With Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  • Study HIC#:2000037457
  • Last Updated:12/13/2024

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and preliminary efficacy of amivantamab monotherapy, amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab, and amivantamab in addition to paclitaxel in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. The study will also confirm the recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2CD) for amivantamab in addition to paclitaxel.
