What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating petosemtamab compared with investigators choice monotherapy in patients with incurable metastatic or recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma HNSCC who have previously been treated. This phase 3 open-label, randomized controlled study focuses on patients whose disease has progressed after anti-PD-1 and platinum-containing therapies. It aims to assess effectiveness and safety for second- and third-line treatments in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either petosemtamab or one of several investigators choice monotherapies, including cetuximab, methotrexate, or docetaxel. The treatments are given as part of a controlled multicenter trial. The study includes follow-up periods to evaluate responses and safety outcomes over time. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including radiologic evaluations to measure tumor response according to RECIST criteria, physical performance status checks, and laboratory tests to monitor organ function and adverse events. Researchers will track overall survival for up to approximately three years and evaluate other outcomes such as progression-free survival, response rates, quality of life measures, and treatment safety. The total duration of participation is aligned with treatment and outcome measurement timelines as specified.
