A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Study of Amivantamab in Addition to Carboplatin and Pembrolizumab, Compared to Standard of Care Platinum and Pembrolizumab and 5-FU, in Participants With Treatment-Naïve Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

NCT ID: NCT07276399Sponsor: Janssen Research & Development, LLCLast updated: 2026-06-05

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare anti-tumor activity of amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab and carboplatin versus pembrolizumab, 5-fluorouracil (FU), and platinum therapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) in participants with refractory/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). HNSCC is a type of cancer that develops in the head and neck regions, including the outer tissue layer of the mouth and throat. This study will focus on participants with HNSCC who are treatment-naive (have not received prior treatment) in the R/M setting.

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of randomized participants achieving a confirmed best overall response (BOR) of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) by BICR using RECIST version 1.1 .

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • ORR as Assessed by Investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Number of Participants with Laboratory Abnormalities

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Percentage of Participants with Improved or Stable Symptoms Compared to Baseline as Measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck Module 43 (EORTC QLQ-HN43) Symptom Scale Score

    Time frame: Baseline, up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Percentage of Participants with Improved or Stable Symptoms Compared to Baseline as Measured by EORTC QLQ-Core (C) 30 Symptom Scale Score

    Time frame: Baseline, up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Change from Baseline in Functioning HRQoL, as Measured by Functioning Scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30

    Time frame: Baseline, up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Change from Baseline in Overall HRQoL, as Measured by Global Health Scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30

    Time frame: Baseline, up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Differences Between Treatment Groups (Arms A and B) for EORTC Quality of Life (QLG) Item Library-46 (IL-46) Tolerability Scale Scores

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Serum Concentration of Amivantamab

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months

  • Number of Participants with Serum Anti-Amivantamab Antibodies

    Time frame: Up to approximately 3 years 7 months
