A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Cemiplimab ± ISA101b in HPV16-Positive OPC
brief summary
This will be a blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase 2 study in which subjects will be randomly assigned 1:1 to cemiplimab plus placebo or cemiplimab plus ISA101b.
detailed description
This study will assess the ability of ISA101b to improve Overall Response Rate in subjects with HPV16 positive OPC, when combined with cemiplimab, an investigational anti-PD-1 antibody being developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. ISA101b is a therapeutic cancer vaccine that induces specific immune responses to the oncogenic E6 and E7 antigens from HPV16. Trials in HPV16 driven malignancies indicate it has activity in HPV16 driven malignancies including oropharyngeal and cervical cancers. Cemiplimab, also known as REGN2810, is in late stage trials and appears to have similar activity to approved anti PD-1 antibodies in a number of malignancies .
